Because, as previously stated, you can use the lift at street level in
King William Street and arrive on the dockloands concourse without
having an option of touching in.

That lift only gets you down to the top of the Northern Line lifts,
and you can get to several other lines from there depending on your
level of mobility (the DLR is the only step-free one). So if your
reason was correct the touch pad should be by the lift rather than the
DLR platforms.

No, the lift in King William Street takes you down to the paid side of
the Northern ticket hall, behind the main lifts down to the Northern
line. Rather than force people to use that lift to go all the way to
the reader on the manual gate (the lifts were installed to allow
mobility impaired to access the DLR). The lower lift takes you down to
the DLR concourse and past the Oyster reader.
One thing that is unusual about the DLR validators at Bank is that
they are set to Entry only, unlike all other standalone validators. I
wonder how a DLR traveller using the lift to exit at Bank would avoid
an unresolved journey?
