Also, perhaps `rm` should be molly guarded to move things to the trash on all systems by default, and delete only if forced to by a flag.
Note: I’d have expected Molly to be a cat, because they tend to be pretty good at disrupting things in my experience.

Seeing long presses implemented for those intermittent and irreversible actions in games is something I‘ve always appreciated. I often end up making errant inputs, especially on keyboards.
A guard I often make for myself is removing/disabling the delete key on my keyboard, and setting FN+Backspace to Delete with whatever control software is involved. I often then repurpose the delete key location to F2, which is typically used to “Edit” a spreadsheet cell or file name.
rm has mollyguarding, that's why every invocation of rm you see on the internet is followed by -f

Not all systems, but some (RHEL, I think?) default alias rm='rm -i', yes
