> There isn't ever a good reason to have an infinite loop

That seems to be a very broad statement. For example in a system where interrupts mostly control things this sort of 'do not close the program' could be useful.

A guy I worked with had one I never would think of because I do not work in that field.

But yeah a warning would probably be useful.
