That (choice of escape sequence) could be made configurable,
but just changing it to pageup/pagedown would aggravate a lot of people.
The same would also apply if one used a parameter for the up/down escape
sequences, e.g.,
\033[5B
rather than
\033[B
\033[B
\033[B
\033[B
\033[B
because some applications would mishandle it.

The key-bindings are handled via scroll-to, scroll-forw and scroll-back
actions, which are (user) configurable using the translations resources.
The amount by which it's scrolled also is configured (see the mention of
"units" in the scroll-back action).
Modifiers would be passed in the XEvent, which is ignored in these actions.
Again, providing something like that as a configurable feature is what
people expect -- most won't want it.
