I haven't done so on a while, obviously…
yes, I did reboot around then yesterday. Perhaps I mis understood
[Brandon]’s mail though but that seemed to suggest even a reboot
wouldn’t update it. But if it does then fine, (non)mystery

That's just a misunderstanding. The file is created/updated once
whenever Apple's ntpd starts, but never touched again afterwards
(until
the next time Apple's ntpd is started.)
It's not a "once in a lifetime" deal.
So, his explanation fits beautifully.
I have a feeling that this has changed recently, perhaps as part of
Apple's NTP security update. [1] On two of my machines, both running
stock Apple code in this regard, /var/db/ntp.drift is changed between
boots (it changed while I was looking at it just now on one machine).
Also pacemaker is not running on either machine (it's disabled in
launchctl). I don't know why my machines are different than yours, but
it's not because of anything I intentionally changed. I see that ntpd
on these machines is version 92.10.1 which is even later than in that
security update. This was apparently part of 10.10.2. On one of the
machines I looked at /usr/libexec/pacemaker was last accessed on Feb. 17
even though the machine was booted several times since then.
