Obvious reason is immediate tire wear?

I think I wasn't being clear, the wheels basically have to rotate perpendicularly to the cars body, so there wouldn't be any extra tire wear.

What? If left wheels are in reverse and right wheels in forward then the treads are wearing sideways against the rotation!

there's no direction wear at low speeds.

or do you parallel park at 60mph? maybe you drive to work on reverse?

You don't? Learn to drive.
