I have never heard it the opposite, but I might have to agree that it does sound a bit more reasonable at first. The only reasoning I can give you is that it is safer to back up a hill under power than to reverse down a hill applying your brakes. Just like snow or ice you lose steering capabilities if you start to slide.
