It is certainly very annoying to a typist who is used to one backspace stroke removing one original keystroke. But not all typists are used to this. If I e.g. type Japanese, then depending on the syllable, there are one or more keystrokes for each Kana character, and because I'm entering Kana and only my fingers type Romaji, removing one Kana per backspace stroke isn't necessarily less natural than a more straightforward correspondence.
