To my eyes the printed message is, to say at least, confusing.

And I did but it was not clear to me what was the process that couldn't
be killed. I would have expected that only the failed process to be
printed, or at least, marked/tagged in some way as such.

Indeed, "currently running processes" were printed but which of them was
exactly failing? The first listed before the pstree command?

I hope you're not suggesting that people has to go here and look for the
meaning of what is printed in the screen ;-). I mean, IMO the message

(?), I wonder if that's the expected but for sure it was not me who put
that task in place :-?
