IBM PCs definitely had backspace keys. I believe that IBM is the reason they have backspace keys. They weren't standard features on a lot of earlier computers. IBM rather unintentionally standardized keyboard layout, because everyone wanted to build clones.

The only keyboard I have that doesn't have a backspace is an old RadioShack computer and even then it has a weird equivalent.
