I’ve looked at the ASCII tables to try to figure out ¿what were they thinking? and suspect it has to do with option \ and | being « and » (and euro key for ` and ´ being one key’s base and shift).

See the ASCII table in the article, for example. I've considered the thing done wrong is the ] and { should've swapped. But then < and > and ( and ) beg me to differ.
