Backticks are used for certain letters in several European languages. à, ì, ù, ò. Depending on the editor, it's kinda annoying. Normal quotes or double quotes usually don't do that. Also, the key is right beside the backspace key, which feels kinda far away for my hands (which of course also depends on the keyboard).

With backticks we don't need to worry about quotes in the content inside being interpreted as the end of a string in JS

Switch to the US layout for programming then. It's impossible to cater to all the languages in the world.
