Why? Because it's not easily discoverable? That's why there is also a 
primary technique to achieve the same goal, but with more clicks. 
Advanced/secondary techniques (like keyboard shortcuts) do not have to 
be discoverable. It's good enough if they are explained in the manual.

About discoverability: Would you have figured out the "Pinch to Zoom" 
gesture if nobody would have told you?
