Up until that point, the steps are reversible and favor the left hand side of the equilibrium. The deprotonation is often called the driving force of the reaction because when the reaction manages to beat the odds and reach that step of the reaction it is prevented from returning to the starting material by this "irreversible" deprotonation. Acidic workup yields the product. If deprotonation could not occur, only the starting material would be recovered.
