the keyboard driver had special key handling, including for zapping the
server. this was performed by the driver though now the driver uses XKB
actions as well.
evdev always relied solely on the Terminate_Server XKB action.

from xorg.conf(5):
Option "DontZap" "boolean"
This disallows the use of the Terminate_Server XKB action (usu‐
ally on Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, depending on XKB options). This
action is normally used to terminate the Xorg server. When this
option is enabled, the action has no effect. Default: off.
