from man zsh:

       The  usual  zsh  startup/shutdown  scripts are not executed.  Login
       shells source /etc/profile followed by $HOME/.profile.  If  the  ENV

Wrong.  Neither bash nor zsh nor tcsh source /etc/profile.d out of them
selves.  I don't know (and care) about (t)csh, to be honest, but bash and
zsh source /etc/profile.  In /etc/profile, you'll find something like:

        for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
                source $profile
        done

And further, if you add something to /etc/profile, it will also be available
in zsh, which proves that your statement is wrong.
