Yup, there's definitely use for back baring.
Like say, if you're cutting on a slope -- and the tree is leaning down hill (let's pretend we want to throw it down hill) -- & you're standing on the right hand side facing down. It's easier to dog in and pull down on the saw and cut out the undercut, rather than flipping the saw and blowing chips in your face.
But, if you we're throwing in an overhand face (traditional), you'd use the bottom of the bar.
I like having a bunch of tools in my tool box, conventional and unconventional.
