Isnt it because their seats are facing the other way?

No; that helps. Planes tend to crash into things, not get rear ended. Facing backwards means they aren’t flung forwards into things.
Regardless of orientation they have four point. As I noted in a different comment, I miss the rear facing seats; I used to choose them by preference and on trains or other vehicles with rear facing seats I always select them.
