You don't know what butter is -- butter is not just the stuff made from cow juice. The term "butter" is used in the names of products made from puréed nuts or peanuts, such as peanut butter. It is also used in the names of fruit products, such as apple butter. Other fats solid at room temperature are also known as "butters"; examples include cocoa butter and shea butter. In general use, the term "butter," when unqualified by other descriptors, almost always refers to the dairy product.

umm..actually im pretty sure it does have butter b.c after the peanuts are crushed down to a paste something must be put in to make it smooth or else it would be crunchy and not the same as regular peanutbutter.

The word "butter" by itself is the familiar dairy product made from cream. If the word has a prefix or modifier, then the spreadable product is made from that substance. E.g.: Peanut, almonds, and other nuts can be ground into a smooth paste.
Fruit, such as apples, peaches, pears, etc. may be cooked down (with or without sugar) and made into a smooth spread that's great on toast.

Because the peanuts are ground down into a "butter" like consistency.

It IS a type of butter.
It does not contain DAIRY butter, but keep in mind that there are other varieties. Butter does not have to be made from cream to be called butter -- just to be called "sweet cream butter" or "dairy butter."

I don't know for sure, but it could be that it has the same consistancy as soft butter, and you don't need any butter on you bread when you use it.
I would've called it peanut spread instead. But nobody asked me.
