It's documented as being this way to allow you to escape '!' in
command arguments... I can see that it makes sense because you're
adding another layer of substitution above the shell and the \-escape
handling is probably not '!' specific.

"Tip: If you need to pass bang (!) characters in your command
arguments, you can do so by escaping them with a backslash (\). If you
need to include backslashes in your command arguments, they should
also be escaped with a backslash. "
