It seems that this exercise goes against the wisdom of “lift with your legs.” Why is that?

It’s important to remember that back damage comes from improper lifting form and trying to lift something much heavier than you are used to. Lifting in the gym is all about progressive overloading which means slow and steady progress. Back damage often happens if you are untrained and you for some reason have to lift something heavy one time with no warmup. That’s a recipe for back injury.
