I hate it too.

But the beachball doesn't always lock up my entire Mac mini (which is
hatefully spelled with a lower case m for mini). Most of the time it
just happifies the current application (yes, Safari) including the
global menu bar. The [apple symbol] menu is in that same global menu
bar, and thus unclickable because a beachball doesn't want to be used
for clicking. So I focus another application, the beachball turns into
an arrow pointer again, and hey, look at that, I can access the [apple
symbol] menu and Force quit Safari. Hurrah for logic!
