I have rm aliased to trash for interactive use because it prevents me from making mistakes. There's a macOS trash utility you can download that lets you put files in the trash properly with full Finder support. The great thing about modern computers is that they have so many resources that it's okay to build more forgiving tools. Time Machine has been a huge lifesaver as well. Ideally you should be able to mark certain folders to automatically track all file changes over time. There's still so much room for improving user friendliness and accessibility of computer systems, but it feels like we're either stuck in the Unix box or we've gone full kiddie lockdown mode with mobile platforms.
