Are you saying `/dev/ttyAMA0` doesn't exist or are you asking why `/dev/serial0` points to `/dev/ttyS0`? ---

That's odd. Try running `raspi-config` and look at Interface Options -\> Serial Port. Make sure login on serial is disabled and hardware is enabled. You'll have to reboot after changes. ---
