My observation is based on spending over a year in that station, and being close with someone who was a chef there.

It really isn't as simple as those "only" statements. There are other uses for freezers than warming stuff up to normal freezer temperature. The on-station food storage situation is a real hack. Shoveling snow off boxes of food in your too-small outdoor deep-freeze doesn't need to be part of the chef's job. Reading red printing on those cardboard boxes, is rather difficult under the red light that tends to be preferred outside in winter.
