I think you would need to try hard to un-configure that behaviour.
That has been the welcome message for a very long time, either in the GUI,
typing vim or many (most?) linux distributions typing vi.
But only before you open a file, if you type vi <filename> you will not see the
message, you will see your file.
What about starting with a simple message:
"Welcome to vi, a text-e cditor , Press ESC : q to quit, Press ESC :
h for help. "
I'd be surprised if vi(m) couldn't be configured to do this. > Do you notice, how much this changes the user

indeed. And:
It just delays the problem by a few seconds. You can't use vi without
understanding its different modes etc.
