Why the manufacturers mark some sensor modules on the breadboard side?
I found this particularly annoying, while I cant find any particular reasons.
O soldered the pins of one BMP 280 module on reverse side (sweet revenge, this is one of the sensors I hate full heart, because of stubborn libraries). Cold that mount be dangerous for the sensor?
Thank you for enlightening me!

I guess you are referring to the "solder mask" which is convenient for printing on before it is applied to the circuit board. The mask is only needed to control the solder on the component side. The printing is optional. The mask is not.
IF the back side of the board does not have components, then no mask is needed.
How you use the boards is up to you. Only you can determine if it's dangerous. It certainly won't explode or attack you.

More space on the back of the board could be another reason. Smaller PCB = cheaper PCB = more profit. And that matters for made-in-China products whose manufacturers have nothing to compete on but the price.
