Because modern "ttf" fonts are actually OpenType fonts. Convention is that OpenType fonts with TrueType outlines use the "TTF" file extension, whereas OpenType fonts with PostScript outlines use the "OTF" file extension. They are both OpenType fonts and therefore support OpenType features such as kerning and ligatures.
So calling something an OTF feature is not really correct (unless it has to do with the glyph outlines themselves).
