Could be some folks might have to catch a second plane and the timing is really close. Unfamiliar airport layout sometimes puts your connecting flight on the opposite side of the airport and it departs in 10 mins. I would be in a hurry to get off and reach my connecting flight in time.
This is just one scenario. Each person is different. Some people have travel anxiety etc.
Pretty easy to understand once you open up to the idea that you don’t know each person’s day, schedule or disorder 🤷♂️
I’ve been in this situation where the flight attendants identified and notified the people with tight connections and made the announcement that certain passengers would be let off the plane first. Practically needed to be at the front of the plane when it stopped at the gate.
I was speaking more generally, not about flights specifically, and about how common it is.
Adults throughout my life seem to constantly be rushing to everything. As a proper big boy adult now myself (I’m almost 40) I still don’t get how it’s so pervasive. My comment was more about how common it is, not about reasons people might be in a rush. I can think of plenty of reasons any given person might be in a rush on a given day but so many people seem to be in a perpetual mad dash. That bit boggles my mind.
It stands, but it neither contradicts nor supports my line of thinking. I was aware of it already when I wondered about adults constantly being in a rush. You can restate it if you like but it doesn’t change my curiosity at the nature of this common problem.
My comment is more about what the underlying cause of the pervasiveness of this issue. Were people always like this or is it one of these fun results of industrialisation? Is it a western culture thing? Is it a capitalism thing? Rhetorical questions in this case - I’m not seeking specific answers from anyone today. I am interested but it feels like we’ll end up arguing and I could do without that.
I’d be curious how different cultures handle rush, timekeeping, social pressure related to commitments. Needing to rush constantly seems like a bit of either a systemic failure or a deliberate dark pattern.

This was a Delta flight connecting in Atlanta.

My point still stands. Everyone is living their own lives and have their reasons for being in a hurry. Not everyone is a chill dude like you.
