Because it's not a user-level feature.

It doesn't matter who does it.  What matters is that these are Lisp
expressions, and those are usually documented in the ELisp manuals.
global-set-key is only documented in the user manual as a command, not
as a function.  We only show a few examples of using it as a function.
