But what if you want to listen to audio from a different application

That's basically ridiculous.
Surely it should just disconnect from Jack (although
this could possible
cause routing issues on reconnecting once finished) and run as fast as
possible using max CPU cycles.
You're ignoring the idea that export may involve other JACK clients. It may
involve, for example, a JACK client functioning as a software synthesizer,
or a JACK client function as an "outboard" FX processor. Disconnecting from
JACK would be completely wrong in such cases, and special casing the
examples where we *could* disconnect from JACK is an absurd amount of extra
work given that we are using JACK's ability to drive the process cycle AND
share data (even within Ardour itself.
