Remember Twilight had to use Sombra's magic to uncover the first set of stairs, which led to the second set of stairs as they could not be accessed any other way.

As for why he'd make stairs leading to the Crystal Heart, remember he enchanted the door so that it would show anypony who tried to enter their worst fear, which will trap them forever unless there is somepony else to snap them out of it. Then he made the staircase endless in case somepony should get by the door. And he put an alarm around the Crystal Heart incase somepony should find a way up the stairs as well.
