This is because your shell uses readline. https://linux.die.net/man/3/readline

You can get vim shortcuts as well.

zsh: bindkey -v

bash: set -o vi

You can configure readline (which is what bash uses) to use vi-bindings via $HOME/.inputrc then everything that uses readline (which is pretty much everything) will also get vi-bindings.
