To me this looks like it's based on the principle that the pilot is always in control of the aircraft as much as possible, to allow recovering from unusual failures.
Just as communications equipment can be turned off if they pose a fire risk, it should be possible to vent the plane (after descending to a breathable altitude) if the system fails and the cabin begins to overpressurise. It's probably worse than depressurising since it could the plane to explode...
