Timing Chain Location

What’s the logic of having the timing chain in the back instead of the front of the engine?

Take for example the brand new Mazda CX-90. Basically built from the ground up. Brand new inline 6 engine, but the timing chain is in the back, which means an engine out job if/when it needs replacing. (Hopefully Mazda reliability is strong so folks don’t have to worry about it.)

They ran out of room I guess. The 3.3 L e-Skyactiv G turbo I6 engine has a turbo AND electric drive stuck to it.
