I'm almost certain it's not on purpose. In videos and documentaries about the construction and design of Diagon Alley at the other park, they're constantly on about everything being immersive and like you're there. I'm pretty sure that in the films we don't see Harry and the gang stumble across Karen, from Ollivander's, having her 7 minute fag break out the back next to the bins.Could that be deliberate? Universal Studios is built around the whole concept of fake sets, blurring the line between movie magic and real-life practicalities, and revealing the backstage to you.
