It seems wrong that the app would be responsible for cleanup... Shouldn't this be solved in the shell / terminal ? What if kill -9?

When you use ctrl+c, you are not killing the program, you are sending it a SIGTERM signal which essentially means « could you please stop yourself ? » so the program have a chance to clean things before exiting.
kill -9 is sending a SIGKILL signal which, well, kills the program immediately.
SIGINT, not SIGTERM.
You are right ! Thank you !
ctrl-c sends SIGINT.
