Yes, this would be a good change, similar to restrictiions on the duplicate variable names in the overlapping scopes. I think, however, that this change has near-zero chance of getting through fpc core team.

One relevant data point: for many years, I use Delphi for the "Programming 101" university course I teach. Every year, out of approx. 15 students in the group, 5-6 make the mistake of naming some component or variable "exit" or "break", and spend hours or even days trying to find the problem, until they finally give up and ask me for help. -- Alexander S.
