Read-Only option or "Disable user input" can save user time with long running commands when they have animals, kids or just press Ctrl+C by accident in the wrong windows.

Ctrl+C for copying and Ctrl+C for SIGINT at the same time was a horrible idea in the first place and can be easily problematic even when users know that Ctrl+C is for SIGIN.

Read-only mode in GNOME Terminal is a band aid from that terrible idea with hotkeys.
