Not everyone knows shortcuts, great for those that are wanting to be more quick / know the shortcuts but for a general user experience it could be frustrating especially when you are browsing in a webapp on an iphone or something.
Ahhh... iPhone. That's the issue. Android has a back button but for some reason iPhones have always preferred gestures and "the one button".
I don't mean to be tech elitist but browsers and other phones have built in ways to easily manage navigation. I'd rather that sites didn't adopt extraneous UI elements to make up for device shortcomings.
iPhone you just swipe right to navigate to the previous web page.
