I asked the regional sales engineer how often he's asked about the backlighting on this remote and he said "A lot". Also said it would have put it out of the price point.
And that was a completely BS answer. Like I mentioned before (and anyone who thinks about it knows), you can get full back lighting on remotes as cheap as $20. There is NO cost issue. The issue was someone in development was just stupid - plain & simple.
