No. That is a fault of rm that it makes it so easy to do something that in 9.99999% of the cases isn’t what the user wants to do.

In fact, recognizing that is precisely why you can’t even do that easily anymore. Setting aside that you probably need to sudo the function, rm prevents you from running the command unless you pass an additional long flag that basically say you really really want to do this.

Programs which expect perfect user input, and allow minor user mistakes to lead to major negative outcomes are faulty programs.
