They are mutually exclusive features, but the UI could do better to make that clear.

I don't think they have to, I expected that the mouse follows the focus, iff i change the focus by keyboard

It’s not binary like that. There a many ways to focus a window. Amethyst provides a keyboard mechanism and a mouse mechanism, but the macOS system has many more; e.g. command tab, command tab then command down, going to mission control by keyboard, going to mission control my mouse, etc.
