Obvious question demands an obvious answer. No. No-one can exit vim.
I started using it nearly 30 years ago now and there is still no end in sight. I’m pretty much convinced it’s just not possible at this point.

Obviously I know how to exit so it's not that. I always have the following remap in my vimrc:
> noremap :W :w
> noremap :Q :q
However, if I'm sshed into a remote machine or on a different account/in a docker container/vm or whatever and I don't have my .vimrc around most things are completely fine[1] except that I occasionally have some cognitive dissonance when I try to quit and nothing happens because I have subconsciously done ":Q" instead of "ZZ" or whatever, and my brain does a brief double-take before realising what happened.
[1] Yes you don't need a highly customized vimrc to function - most defaults are OK especially if you can load vim-sensible
