keyboard-quit's function is to signal a `quit' condition, so it does it.

Clicking the upper left [X] sends a WM_CLOSE message to Emacs, which
tells it to do an orderly exit. That includes executing Lisp code, and
potentially doing a lot of things: writing files, asking the user,
killing subprocesses, etc. If some of these things take forever, how
it is Emacs to know that it is a bug and not expected behavior? For
example, if something in kill-emacs-query-functions asks me and I
don't answer, I wouldn't want Emacs to assume it can proceed...
