It's just how it works. The terminal emulator doesn't interpret the keystrokes, it just writes them (as escape sequence) to the stdin of the shell. The shell can either ignore them or interpret them accordingly. On the other hand, the terminal reads and interprets the shell output (including escape sequences).
