Mounting them out there also reduces the vibration/noise transmitted through structure to the fuselage occupants, and also the acoustic noise out the front/back is directed away from the fuselage.

It allows them to mount the wings closer to the ground, which allows for a slower landing speed. Putting the engine weight further aft allows the wings to also move back and give better visibility out the windows.
