Because it is a derived command, and most/all of those are not
in the command reference yet (for example, neither is \startitemize,
which is derived from \defineitemgroup).

From the source (and I am positive this is also mentioned in the
big manual):
%D A makeup is a separate page, like a title page or colofon.
%D There is one standard makeup page, but you can define more
%D if needed.
As can be seen in
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/setupmakeup
it is a page type with a special layout / header & footer sections
that last only temporarily. The key point is that such a page
does not (have to) rely on the current page layout style, which
is especially useful for title pages.
Best wishes,
Taco
