But why does the binding to S-Tab in Info work then?

info explicitly binds it as well as binding backtab.

Yes, I noticed.

IMO it looks better to bind to S-Tab since that is what the user sees.

If the user looks closely at their keyboard, they might see a backtab symbol on the tab key, printed in the location where the shifted representation is expected to be.

Rather than expecting all modes to bind backtab, S-tab, iso-lefttab and S-iso-lefttab consistently, to cover all the possible representations that a terminal might give that key, we use function-key-map to map them all to backtab.

Ah, thanks, I never saw that symbol before and had no idea what backtab was.
