Only when you start it by itself intentionally, not when you want to edit something and your $EDITOR is not set, then you end up in vim without an idea, how to quit.
I remember (in the mid-90s) making another telnet session and killing vi. Swearing in the process. Yes, I later learned the :q! command.
