That's because RTZ is not "rewind", it's a reset. Whereas rewind and fast forward are "motions" specific to physical media like tape, RTZ is instant. That's why you have 2 different transport control buttons.
Perhaps confusing is the online documentation defining RTZ as "Rewind to the start of the project", when it should say "Skip to the project's current start point." This is not always the beginning of the project but could also be the beginning of a specific loop selection.
RTZ's opposite is Go To End or GTE.
