This is a result of a "configure"-time option set by whoever built the
zsh package for your software package manager.  For me, it's:

zsh -fc 'print $ZSH_VERSION $fpath'
5.1.1 /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions /usr/local/share/zsh/5.1.1/functions

One might, but then the handling of $fpath would be inconsistent with
$path, $module_path, $manpath, etc.; and more importantly, the order
of entries in the array is signficant in case the same file name (with
different implementation) appears in more than one directory.

You're not really ever intended to need to read that list once you've
assigned it.
