Backstrokers unite.
We know every detail of the ceilings where we train unless it's the sky which is ever changing.
We SDK every day. It's breath taking.
We go forwards in reverse.
We get to flip over on turns. We gotta stay on our back.
We swim back. We kick back.

Thumb first? Really? I just don't see how you can setup a good catch quickly as you have to body roll and your have to rotate the hand to a pinky downward position, which seems to be a waste of time over entering pinky first.
I've heard of a neutral entry (i.e slapping the back of the hand) but I've never heard of a thumb first entry.
I am inclined to agree with you about the wasted motion but it could be like lot of things in swimming, one size doesn't fit all.
