Die-attach adhesives are good thermal conductors and lousy electrical ones.
Also, the silicon on the backside of a die is usually at least somewhat
oxidized.
Then again, backside metalization is costly and can cause a yeild hit.
Any die-attach that gives good electrical connection may also be
inflexible enough to suffer from differential thermal expansion and
possibly fatigue.
