Because it provides no worthwhile feedback that what you've just pressed
is bad, and so doesn't discourage you from trying it again. It reduces
the probability of disaster but it's still not especially friendly.
Actually the SUSE patch emits an audible tone the first time you press
ctrl-alt-backspace. The tone will last for two seconds, and the user
must press ctrl-alt-backspace again before the tone stops in order to
kill X.
