Thanks.
More doors/jetbridges/stairs being used for deplaning = more equipment being used taking up more labor hours.

Also, government actors, airports and airlines may want to limit the possibility of passengers unauthorizedly wandering off onto the tarmac or doing other things without being noticed as easily/quickly after deplaning.
