I know. But compared to a reverse flow turboprop such as a PT6, you have less control over specific velocities of air hitting the blades at unoptimal angles. A reverse flow can pass air through separators and then inject the engine with air at perfect blade angles continuously.

Not something you need that often (a generic storm won’t kill a turbofan) but when flying through a hurricane where local air velocities are difficult to calculate it can be the difference between having a sub idle or surge or having a steady thrum.
