> We've been pushing quitting to applications for decades when these applications use the higher level input reading functions. Check out how we do it in, e.g. calc. I haven't seen any objections.

I know, but these arguments don't work when applications that didn't
do that in the past are suddenly required to do it.  What Calc does is
intentional, so why would we expect any objections in those cases?
Objections will come when code which didn't need to do this will be
required to do so.
