It does not expose the back for long enough to be exploited.
Round kicks are easy to see coming, easy to block, counter, catch and then throw the opponent.
Back kicks of all kinds are almost impossible to counter. The chance of landing a good one is low, perhaps, but there's little risk involve.
Moreover, few people are ready for any back kicks - if the opening was there when you started the kick, it'll likely be there when you turn around and land your foot on the target. People just arn't ready for them.
