Because you are hung up on the "moving towards B's goal line" as if that was an automatic indicator of a false start. A QB who misses the snap count and jerks his hands back, starting to leave before the ball is snapped, is guilty of a false start. He was not moving toward B. A RB who blasts off sideways before the ball is snapped because he knows he is running a toss play, is guilty of a false start.
What are you gonna do about this? The QB is under center. The team is set. He sees something in the defense that he wants to alert the tailback to so he slowly comes out from under center and moves back to the tailback to whisper in his earhole. When he starts walking back to his original position, has he false started?
