I believe the suggestion is that there are some 'statused' FFs out there who wish to be 'fawned over' and generally made a fuss of; and no doubt there are some!

It is basic etiquette to let the people in front deplane first unless they are waiting for assistance or just don't appear to be in any sort of hurry.

I've also seen rear deplaning first on a metroliner with a full liggage load of TV crew gear. They requested we deplane rear first, with an implied reference to keeping the center of gravity forward.
