I believe battery life is the hold back. That argument is debatable though: having backlighting active for a few seconds when you press a 'wake up' button wouldn't drain that much. But that functionality adds cost to the remote, so...
I agree completely. You could buy a third-party vendor programmable remote that is backlit to replace your Roku remote, but it would be better to have the option to buy a Roku one. I really like my Roku remotes for my Ultra and Streaming Stick +, but backlighting would make them even better. I'd happily pay for one.
