Likely because you don't have the real Power Tailgate, unless you're talking about a KR, Platinum, or Limited... but I have yet to see any of those delivered to customers.
The Power Tailgate goes up on its own, has parking sensors and a camera built-in for use with the tailgate down. If you have a Lariat or below, you don't have a Power Tailgate.

I thought that was too much "work" to use anymore so there was just a button in the faux handle.
I keep grabbing for the handle when I am backing up to hook up and pressing that button over and over before the tailgate pops.
Hate all the electro-crap

That feature looks useful. When we camp, the tailgate it always down it seems. With tons of kids and dogs all around, I want all the safety features I can find. Plus hooking up to gooseneck it would be nice to have the sensors, but not needed. I like the in bed camera.

Gosh, I hope so! I was thinking it would. My dealer told me it would, but we all know how that goes.

I hate that Ford limits options such as this. I can afford a King Ranch Or Platinum but I doubt I will ever pay that much extra for badging and leather. Dip****s. I want massaging seats too. Dbags.
Thanks and sorry for the language.
