The prenup exists regardless, just you chose to use the one the state creates for you. The existence of the prenup has Jack shit to do with an escape hatch. But I have a very positive networth, a house and a business that I built before the marriage. Coming from a divorced family, and the statistics of divorce say getting a prenup is smart, it in no way insinuates I want the marriage to end, in fact the opposite. It means if it were to end, things should go back to the way they were before the marriage.
