Idle would have to check the beginning of every statement before sending it to the user process, which would do the same thing. I personally think exit/quit should eventually go, as ^d/^z or [x] button are as easy.
I never use them myself, but they are more discoverable than keyboard shortcuts, and hence can be useful for beginners or casual users.
