The exact same arguments could apply to C-c being "replaced" by C-x C-c.
There is a big difference in that C-c is already used by Emacs for
other things, one is for users, and the second is for local
keybindings in modes. Changing that would break quite a bit of
things.
I meant when C-c was chosen, I wasn't suggesting to change things now.
I suspect that C-c was choosen long before GNU Emacs.
But if C-x C-c for C-c was never too confusing, C-x C-z for C-z
should be fine too.
That makes no sense to me, C-x C-c and C-c <foo> have nothing in
common, one kills Emacs by asking the user the other is used by other
modes and users. C-c (SIGINT) in Unix has a entierly different
behaviour than all of those...
In any case, C-z can display a message guiding the user to the
proper key sequence. And one could argue that C-c could show such a
message too(without breaking anything).
C-c doesn't interrupt Emacs; so having it show a message would be
missleading to the user.
