This behavior annoys me as well. Fortunately I don't need to yank
backward too often.
To answer your question, vim motions are of two types:
- ':h inclusive'
- ':h exclusive'
I don't understand that helpdoc well, but I understand that this is the
reason 'yb' excludes the character the cursor was on. For fun, try
'yge', which is an inclusive motion. It's not a substitute of 'yb'
(you'll see why when you try). It's just to demonstrate the reason why
'yb' behaves unintuitively.
It's not gonna be changed upstream, but I bet patching your own copy of
vim won't be too hard. If I were using 'yb' as often as you seem to be,
I would've tried patching it.

Getting exclusive-inclusive difference is easier than it looks at first: exclusive motions always exclude the rightmost character. This is both weird and normal at the same time, as driving a car: turning wheel to the right always turns car to the right, no matter if it goes forward or backward.
Kind regards,
