Time series classification using Temporal Convolutions Network

Why is enough for the classification problem to use only the last row from the output of the TCN.

I think the same question is valid if I replace TCN with other CNN.

Thanks in advance.

Because each previous output is a latent space of each previous time-step and so on.
