Depends on if the piano has a key lock. Some UK instruments didn't have key locks but the keys were still rigid and didn't move during rolls. Supposedly they weighted the backs of the key levers to stop them from moving.
Because in UK or English player pianos, they found moving keys to be repulsive and "ugly". About 99% of these UK/English players don't have moving keys. For me it takes a bit of the fun out of watching a roll to be honest.

Maravilloso instrumento; parece fabricado hoy; ya quisiera que mi pianola Aeolian estuviese en tan magnífico estado...
Enhorabuena.

Why don't the keys move on some Steck players?

From what I understand, this is a feature that can be turned on and off.
