By the way: It's DEC Private Mode 67 (a.k.a. DECBKM) for controlling Backspace, and DEC Private Mode 1037 for Delete.
Not every terminal emulator understands these. But they're understood by things as wide ranging as hterm and mintty.
I copied these from #DECVTs and XTerm in my terminal emulator, and my #setterm has options for generating both DECSM/DECRM mode switches.

The terminal line discipline has very little to do with it, as full-screen programs like VIM put the line discipline into non-canonical mode, where there are no special characters.
Where this issue lies, and has done since the 1980s, is emulating a DEC VT.
On an actual DEC VT the Backspace key is programmatically switchable between DEL and BS. #XTerm extended this years ago and makes the two Delete keys switchable between DEL and DECFNK 3.
