Comment (by esemlabel):

 Yes, someone can return false to short-circuit this. But many of other
 developers will produce error when hook in to their even with filter
 {{{
 if ( $event->hook === 'my_plugin_event' ) then perform something inside my
 plugin
 }}}
 , because they can't predict if anyone else will use such way to prevent
 event from running.
 The one way without modifying core is always use low priority for every
 filter hook, that return false to 'schedule_event' filter. Otherwise,
 there is huge probability to catch debug error from plugins and themes.
