I think your expectations may be at fault.
In ConTeXt, ` is not "open quote", it is backtick. If you want an open
quote, you have to type one.
Typeset this text to see what I mean:
\starttext
` Backtick\crlf
' Apostrophe\crlf
‘ Open curly quote\crlf
’ Close curly quote
\stoptext
If you actually want backtick, perhaps you could say what you think is
wrong with it in Palatino?
