The platform Nadal operates from DEMANDS long rallies in order to achieve the objective of wearing down the opponent while satisfying and impinging his OWN style of play specially in the absence of play B. Without enough 'exercise' of his own style, Nadal may fall victim to his opponent's flow - a scenario that may very well emerge with a plethora of aces.
Nadal cannot impose his will without running through at least 90 percent of the canvas with his style of play as it requires constant reminding to make meaningful impact on the scoreboard and the opponent.
While the ace machine can lower the wear and tear on his body, it will fail to invigorate it enough to win the match. His extreme defense lends itself to the same logic as it ensures continuation of rallies leading to the eventual narrow tunnel where the prey is eventually suffocated. Watch the Nadal vs Del Potro match @ 2013 Indian Wells, if you want immediate evidence of it.
Translation: Nadal's reluctance to improve his serve, a shot that stands independent of his 'game', could be part of the package that Nadal is trapped in for his entire career.
