I am not sure about that: the most unfriendly thing an editor can do to
a beginner is not allowing him to quit. Now that's probably not an
issue for the GUI startup screen since we have File/Exit Emacs on the
menu.
Actually, the next unfriendly thing is not allowing a user _not_ to
quit. I just tried
C-h k M-F4
and got the following result:

Conspicuously absent in this plethora of answers is an option _not_ to
quit (presumably "Cancel"). Closing the dialog window happens to
achieve that, apparently, but it is not really obvious.
