As a user of an American keyboard, you would not understand. On
almost all keyboards of the world, getting ` is at best tedious, at
worst impossible or at least error-prone, usually yielding an accent
instead of a backquote. For example, on a German keyboard you get `
by typing Shift-= SPC (where = means the American position for =), so
the whole sequence becomes C-x Shift-= SPC.
On a French keyboard, it is Right-Alt-7. And so on.

For most languages of the world, ` is one heck of a nuisance.
