I don't know if this is the actual reason, but there is argument to be made for avoiding modifier+symbol key combinations, if an alternative exists: The combo may be untypable for people whose keyboard doesn't look like yours.  For example, I can't type C-\.   I can type C-/ and C-_, but there may be others who can't.  

regards, Anders
