Probably because auctex-init.el does not provide the respective
feature.

auctex-init.el is a file added by Fedora.  So you can hardly blame
AUCTeX's documentation for not mentioning it.

The problem is not the presence of the file but its content.  AUCTeX's
documentation clearly states that AUCTeX should be activated by
loading auctex.el, not by requiring tex-site (which is what Fedora's
auctex-init.el does).

BTW, please don't top-post.
