I use C-z in shell to stop the job and those jobs usually on my side
impact performance of the computer or performance of the other
job. Imagine the surprise when C-z does not work as expected, will the
user make conclusion to press C-z again after 1 second or after 20 or
30 seconds, and will the data on computer be preserved until that
conclusion arrives? I don't think so.

Removing C-z on console is dangerous for data of computer users IMHO.

Removing C-z on X has less impact on the computer users' data, but
helps user to switch from one frame (iconified) to something else.
