The 500 never seems to take many people from what I have seen. A few people per trip.

We must be talking about a different 500. It is true that not many local residents rely on the 500 and tend to use the 82A but a large number of foreign tourists do. At certain times, especially during the football season, the deckers are very much needed and often have full loads and not just on match days. As for your suggestion that Runcorn depot would be capable of demand response (dupes), I think that you are placing far too much faith in an Arriva management that is very much isolated from its passengers/customers and their travel needs. As you pointed out, profit not provision is any bus operator's focus.
