When you travel in F, you've paid handsomely for that seat. Accordingly, standard operating procedure is to allow guests in F to continue relaxing in comfort while the rest of the aircraft is evacuated. This has the effect of lightening the load and making the aircraft more bouyant thus allowing the F pax relax even more in their seats while the airplane (or what's left of it) continues to float gently.
