Because it wouldn’t be called that.

If you had brain trauma, got injured, and woke up without the ability to speak or understand anything that’s being said to you, no one would describe your issue as amnesia.

If you, cinematically, woke up from your trauma otherwise fine but unable to remember your identity then you get to say you have amnesia. I’m not sure how often that happens.
