Shutting down a Metro app

Metro apps take up the whole screen. The ones in the examples have no menu and no way to shut them down. If they play stupid distracting music, they continue to play stupid distracting music even when they are in background mode. This makes the UI incredibly frustrating to use.

Why not respond to the Escape key?

If you need to close down a Metro app, for the moment you need to use the Alt-F4 key combination which, I must admit, I haven't used in about ten years!

I can see this being a long and painful road.
