I strongly suspect that they don’t reverse them because it’s got to be near
enough impossible, surely?

Impossible for me, you and 99.99% of people. But some people can do it:

I guess that counts counter counter counter steering.

When I was having lessons I spoke about this with my instructor. Once someone
got him out to reverse a continental double (trailer with its own steering
bogie) that had got stuck in a cul de sac and its driver couldn't do it. He
said he tried for 5 mins and gave up. Apparently the trailer had to be dragged
out backwards in the end.
