I believe your information is *wrong*.

I myself have access to PowerMac 7100 (1995) keyboard, iBook G4 
(early 2006) keyboard, and late 2006 iMac keyboard, all of them 
have one specific key for \ and |.

A bit research shows that apparently Mac has been always have 
that key, as can be seen here:

The only thing I can think of is that you are talking about 
non-US keyboard layout. In that case it has nothing to do with 
Mac, any PC with that keyboard layout will have the same issue.
