Because the manual doesn't call it back button focus?

Go to Custom Settings Menu and click on a-Autofocus. Scroll down to a8-AF activation. You have two choices. One lets you use back button (AF-ON) button and the shutter button and the bottom choice is AF-ON only, which is back button focus only. Hope that helps

It can be easily done! Google Steve Perry's videos and you'll see many of his helpful tips using high end Nikons.
