Imagine their horror when having to type AltGr+- to get a backslash. At least with Shift you can choose which of the Shift keys to use, but there is only one AltGr key (it is to the right of the spacebar, the US keyboard layout has the right Alt key there). It used to be you could use Ctrl+Alt+-, too, and at least those were available on the left hand side, too. But I do not know if Ctrl+Alt works nowadays.
