Not to get overly pedantic, but I don’t think decompression means what you think it means.
Also, the same pressure is acting on a fluid with a high energy/lowered density. When its cooled, the air wants to have a higher density, thus reducing the pressure inside the can relative to the atmospheric pressure that it is experiencing. It begins to suck in more “cool” water, which continues lowering the temperature of the water present. This is both because it is “cooler” to begin with as well as the latent heat of vaporization and it most likely aerosolizing as it enters the can turbo charging the feedback loop
If you’ve ever actually done this, you’ll notice that there is a “small” amount of water inside the can, that is the rememnent of the steam as well as the water that got sucked into it.
Its also worth trying to work out, thermodynamically, why would the hot steam want to rush out of the can??

Because the can thermodynamically changed quickly, not the airs, not the water.
