Er, what?
Zsh by default has for years bound both ^? (del) and ^H (backspace) to
backward-delete-char. What else are you expecting?
There is the complication that the keypad-delete key can send two or
more different multi-character sequences and some keyboards might
attach one of those to the key that is labeled backspace, and there's
really no way for the shell to know what it should do with that ...
but that's a historic problem with keyboards and terminal drivers, not
with the shell per se.
