As said above, you don't save any space, in fact you always use more tiles. And it takes sims longer to go upstairs or downstairs too.
Wall height is also an important factor if you want to be able to place object underneath the stairs and use them and/or not have sims unable to use the stairs because of them.
But in tight spaces it can be useful to not have straight stairs. I usually just make L shaped stairs. Like for example in the tiny house I submitted for the contest.
I'm gonna try to add a picture to this, but I'm on mobile so it's a bit of a hassle.

The front door (not pictured, but opposite the back door that is pictured) is one tile away from the stairs (the lower floor is 5x9 tiles, short walls), so if I had wanted to use straight stairs I wouldn't have been able to put them in this orientation but I'd have had to turn them 90 degrees and align them to the long side of the house.
