If you're the Rideau Centre, you'd rather have a rent-paying retail space against the wall of your building, rather than paying to heat and light a walkway that carries people with money out of your mall and into someone else's store, and its cheaper to get rid of one than to renovate 2. Also, while the walkways are nice in Winter, it literally takes 30 seconds to pop outside and get to The Bay.
Also, in my opinion, they are imposing and ruin the sightlines of Rideau St, especially looking West toward the nicer buildings on Wellington.
