This is all purely definitional. Keep that in mind.
There is an act of shooting as well as a try for goal during a FT. However, the penalty for such a foul does not involve awarding any FTs. Why? Because the rules only specify to award FTs for fouls committed against a player trying for a FIELD goal or when a team is in the bonus.
I agree with rules explanation provided above by BigCat.
