That makes sense if you prefer to be close to the front/exit for quick deplaning.

I tend to just relax during both boarding/de-boarding since it's only a few minutes difference anyway and the effort/stress of trying to move quickly outweighs the few minutes savings. If the seat is pre-selected, I can simply wait for the line to go away and board last without standing for 10m. It seems to me that most people rush to board first even with pre-selected seating (perhaps optimizing for space in the overhead bins)

If you have a connecting flight with a short layover, is the exception where I want to be right near the exit. So I guess it's more of a preference thing
