This is as it is because of even older geezers who have muscle memory
for the way "stty kill" works, and for 4.x BSD where ^U is the kill
character by default. Of course it can be argued that stty kill
deletes the whole line only because it's not possible for the cursor
to be anywhere other than at the end of the line in the stty driver,
so the readline choice is not entirely unreasonable.
Anyway, you're looking for
bindkey ^U backward-kill-line
