Backwards searches and the ? operator

I've just had some very frustrating minutes trying to figure out why
searching with a pattern which I felt should work wasn't actually
working. After trying this and that I decided eventually to look up
\? in the help file and saw that it's not supposed to work with
backwards searches. Does anyone know why this restriction exists ?
Seems like a strange one.

(I know that \= works , I'm just curious.)
