That's a very liberal way to define "confirmation", especially since modern OSes will delete trashed items on a rolling 30-day basis, without any further action

To rephrase:
> mv dir .old-dir && rm -r .old-dir &
it's how most GUI desktops “delete” stuff, they just run the two actions separately
It's kind of a stretch anyway since the core idea of the command was the final `&`
