I see reasons for not everyone having access. In a realistic setting letting every civvy have maint access is bad when security is an issue.
We're not in a realistic setting though, and the edge of consideration should go to gameplay over simulation. That being said I'm not entirely sure what's best for gameplay. I do know I'd rather everyone have access to maint. It'd be different if we had a long standing status quo on access limitation, like if only engineers had access, but that's not the case. So many jobs can, so why can't they all?
