Ctrl-C absolutely should not exit. There’s plenty of times you want it in vim to interrupt something in the editor.
As others have said, it’s on the screen if you open vim without a file. Otherwise, it’s a tool for people that bother to learn how to use it. As someone who has been using it daily for the last 10 years, I would find it incredibly obnoxious to have a bunch of useless screen clutter telling me basic things that are easily learned.

Sorry, I forgot that vim has extensions.
Vim has an entire dedicated scripting language built right into the editor and accessible while editing.
Even without plugins, sometimes certain things can be too slow and you want to stop them.
