It is psychology of people.  Boarding you know that you are in for an hour and a half or two hour wait.  What's the rush?

 

When the plane lands, you know that you have to get where you are going so you're off!

 

It is that simple.

People are all on a mission to get out of the plane when it lands. 

 

Boarding everyone is browsing the seats, putting stuff up, taking it back down, putting it back after getting their item out, getting safety briefing, exit row safety briefing...the process is naturally a longer one.

10 minutes to deboard? You must be sitting in the front of the plane.
