In a conventional Unix system, applications are written to expect
SIGTERM. That is not the case in z/OS.

It's not necessary in Unformatted System Services. It is necessary in
z/OS that you not arbitrarily terminated all of the address spaces
that have been dubbed. Given the behavior of SIGTERM, it is not
appropriate to use it as a global shutdown mechanism for address
spaces that are not expecting it.
