Having taken Duolingo español I can see why - it's difficult sometimes to tell if something in print is a question, since the subject-verb order often remains the same. "You are listening?" instead of English dominant "Are you listening?", so the upside down question mark was originally a formal, Castilian typeface convention to make spotting the questions easier.
