I couldn't imagine, in production environments where many sessions are running transactions concurrently, how the user (DBA) wants and can cancel each stuck session during commit one by one with Ctrl + C by hand. I haven't seen such a feature exist or been considered crucial that enables the user (administrator) to cancel running processing with Ctrl + C from the side.

Using pg_cancel_backend() and pg_terminate_backend() a DBA can cancel
running query from any backend or terminate a backend. For either to
work the backend needs to be interruptible. IIRC, Robert had made an
effort to make postgres_fdw interruptible few years back.
