I never thought of it that way, but it is true that it can be used as a pipe.

Fundamentally it's just the dual of (): Haskell lets you use operators as infix functions by wrapping them in () so

    (+) 1 2

is the same as

    1 + 2

and conversely lets you use prefix (binary) functions as operators by wrapping them in backticks.

You can even combine those through sections, which serve to partially apply infix operators: https://wiki.haskell.org/Section_of_an_infix_operator
