I don't think rear window wipers are necessary on Sedans because there is the trunk area that extends farther from the rear window and it prevents from mud splashing. In SUVs, hatchbacks and station wagons, the rear window is behind the rear wheel and not protected like sedans.
I sometimes use rear window wiper on my SUV on rainy days but I don't recall ever wanting one on my Sedan.
