Common desktop office suites like word etc keep the formatting when you delete the last character in a P tag. So when you type again it will be the right font size that the paragraph had. But sure it bloats up the HTML a bit since you might then have paragraphs like:
<p><span class="x"><b><i><br></i></b></span></p>

It think it would look strange if you backspaced in this contents:
<p><span style="font-size:large">a</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:large">b|</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:large">c</span></p>

And it would produce:
<p><span style="font-size:large">a</span></p>
<p>|</p>
<p><span style="font-size:large">c</span></p>

Since the line height would change when you remove the inline element. For a developer it would be ok but not for n00bs that doesn't understand that rich text editors produce HTML and that the inner element got removed.
