The safety of the cabin crew is paramount.
If one CC becomes incap during the landing, E.G. if the landing was very hard and they banged their head, then now you are reduced crew in the cabin. As you taxi in, an uncontained engine fire occurs and an evacuation is commanded. You only have 3 CC evacuating 200 pax now instead of 4. Of course CC can work as reduced crew in an evacuation but then the investigation will kick in and ask why there were only 3 CC?

My 2 points are this:
1) There's no point being a hero if you are dead.
2) The CC have to look after themselves first so that they can then look after all of the pax.
That's a bit far fetched. Get a grip.
