you don't want all the air rushing to the back of the aircraft to the regular outflow valve/s
What? All the airliners I have flown have multiple exits for cabin air - through the toilets, vents at floor level all the way along the cabin sides, and so on. In the event of a rapid depressurisation this avoids bending the airframe.
