The clever heads at Tesla are very likely to be thinking in ancient mess like the imperial system.
Nor does it translate to a round number in metric system, this tells me that that just guesstimated an safe and easy speed everyone should handle.
I too wish it was higher.
The motors are sensed brushless motors, there is no mechanical advance in such motors, and so they perform equally in both directions.

Part of the reason for the speed limit in reverse in the Model S&X is that the lubrication pump in the motor/gear box doesn't function when going in reverse.
If it wasn't for the 17mph limit, our cars in reverse would reach 60mph faster than ICEs going forward!
That is exactly how I discovered the limit in the first place. It hit me...if my car can go 0-60 in 4.2 going forward..Can it do it backwards? So I went to try it and discovered the limit.
