It is intentional. I tried to reduce the number of dynamically scoped
variables.
On the other hand, hooks and filters all get back-end's name, if any, as
an argument, which limits the need for that variable. The only missing
part is Babel. I thought the recently introduced `by-backend' feature
was sufficient. Isn't it the case?
I also thought about reintroducing `org-export-current-backend', but
that would be redundant with hooks and filters' arguments. Removing
these is not an option either, as that would break every hook/filter in
the wild.
Regards,
