I wonder if it's strictly a question of timing.
When you're operating from shotgun as much as we do, perhaps it's difficult for OL to time their blocks in a way that the holes are opening inside just as the runner is getting there.
Maybe by emphasizing outside zone the timing works better and the RB can go sideways with the play as the blocks are developing then get downfield as a hole opens.
There has to be something that's making it a necessity for the passing game to function well somehow.
