you want to keep the channel electrically isolated from the gate (jfet) or substrate (mosfet) so that it operates as a fet, don't you? if it was forward biased it would just be a diode with no field effect.

False, a zener diode is normally operated reverse biased in breakdown.


Why a transistor can be operated in active region?

a transistor can only work in active region cox in active region collector base junction is in reverse bias and emitter base junction is in forward bias.

Why should a JFET be operated with only reverse bias on the gate?

If the gate-channel junction of a JFET was not reverse biased the JFET would just act as a forward biased diode across that junction and the gate would cease to have any control over the channel conductance. For the same reason in a MOSFET the substrate-source/channel/drain junction must remain reverse biased. The MOSFET could not act as a MOSFET.
