Something's gotta give with this. Why is protocol not to just get everyone off of the plane when shite goes wrong?

A few months ago I had a connecting flight on southwest in Orlando. We got on the plane and this ungodly thunderstorm rolled in. It was raining so hard I couldn’t see the plane parked next to us at the gate. It was an evening flight, and much to my surprise they actually let us off the plane to go get food. We were delayed about two hours. I was really shocked. Got home late, but at least wasn’t hungry.
