Whatever. If such reasoning makes sense to you, fine.

I find the fallback position of S-tab working like tab to be
more natural than a fallback position of S-tab working like
backtab. That's the general convention we've followed in
Emacs, and it makes sense to me in this specific case too.

Do as you like. As I said, this is no biggee. Just expressed
an opinion.
