If $Y$ at that point is (statistically and practically) significantly better than our current operating point, and that point is deemed acceptable, we update the system parameters to this better value. And we can keep repeating this approach, relying on intuition and luck. Why experiment with several parameters concurrently?

One reason to do ramp-up is to mitigate the risk of never before seen arms.
