The cast members (what’s left of them) are out of practice because of COVID. They need to get their skills back before the mobs are back at WDW..

You wanna see mobs at the skyliner? Try getting from Pop Century to Hollywood Studios in the AM. A line all the way down along hourglass lake, and then another long line when you get to Caribbean Bch.
Or try leaving Epcot on the Skyliner on those nights when it closes at 7pm?! Oh lawdy! I had to walk over to Abracada-Bar to calm my nerves for an hour.

We went last July the week all the parks reopened. Even though the parks and resorts were DEAD, there was a line at Pop every morning that went back to the laundromat beside the pool behind Classic Hall. It moved super fast and was no big deal. Still quicker, easier, and more relaxing than a bus. Just my personal experience and not meant to disparage yours.

That line from personal experience was about 10 minutes... Still way faster than waiting for a bus.

After fireworks at Epcot the skyliner line would usually be 20-30 minutes in my experiences.

Dunno but maybe @liftblog can shed some light on the need to resplice the ropes after run in?

Disney Skyliner to Experience Maintenance Outages this Week
If you're planning to use the Skyliner in the days ahead, outages due to maintenance on the system may send you looking for other forms of transportation.

Seems logical that just like everything mechanical it needs regular maintenance.
Lines are only down for one day reach. I would think a re-splice would take longer then that. Probably just maintenance on the towers.

Are people under the impression that magic elves and fairies lube the motors when the children sleep?
This can’t be a serious question, can it?
I'll wait for the next cabin, thank you...

I've also heard it can't handle the demand. I haven't been there. I don't know if this is true. I think I heard it on the Disney Dish.
Of course, that might be because of COVID and not being able to put multiple families in at the same time but I suspect that, at this point, it'll be a great number of years before they start mixing parties again on the skyliner.

The only time there is any sort of capacity issue is park open and park close. There is a surge of demand (especially at the hub location) but it only lasts for a brief period. That is no different than more people than capacity for buses. You just have to wait a little longer.
