Otherwise its a feature that will never be used on a true comp crawler.

Sure it will. Sounds like you haven't competed before. Gates are set up so tight that you have to turn 180's between them sometimes. Let us say there is a gate facing downhill, with the next gate set up so that you must turn a 180 in a 4 foot circle and go back up the same way you came. An unlocked rig could do this pretty easy without a reverse, a locked rig could not. A rig with front dig won't have any advantage, as the dig will just make the front end slide further downhill.
Big difference between crawling and competing. You can reverse with no penalty when just crawling.
