Not to mention it doubles the number of taxi movements, as each towing machine must move back to the ramp for the next aircraft, after delivering an aircraft to the runway. You would probably have to design another series of thin taxiways for this (rather than reverse-direction operations on a taxiway), which would then introduce immense complexity at intersections for crossing taxiway operations etc etc etc
