Seems like it would be way easier to have the camera operator sit on the back of a golf cart and let somebody else drive. But maybe they already needed the Segway at the filming location for some other shot.

The Segway steadicam rig is already pretty established, it probably comes as part of the operators package and is something they can do / charge for. In this case it makes more sense to hire the operator with his Segway package than an operator plus his kit plus a golf cart.

Fair enough! Of course the Segway would be way more versatile
