THS hinge point

So, AFAIK the A320 and B737 (and maybe many others) have the THS hinged on the back end, with some sort of jack screw to adjust the front end. This invariably leads to higher loads when the aircraft is out of trim and the elevator is deflected to keep the flight path. What is the benefit of this configuration because to me hinging at the front seems better.
