Well, if you want to force-close the session. su/sudo/pkexec don't
support that at all, as far as I know, so while there certainly is room
for improvement when it comes to accessibility (and the formulation of
the message) here, it isn't worse than su/sudo either.
If you want to exit the shell normally, typically the 'exit' command
will suffice (it depends on your shell, obviously).

On a jessie system, I can interrupt an Emacs file edit session with cntrlZ.
My only self acknowledged disabilities are mild loss of cognitive function and
frequent finger fumbles at the keyboard, so I don't know what a person who
cannot press-and-hold cntrl and then press Z must do, but surely key entry of
cntrlZ is already a solved problem, but maybe not.
