I'm pretty annoyed by those prompts. Yes, fuck you, do what I fucking said, my backups work fine. Also frankly I think most software does it wrong, if it is possible it shouldn't ask before delete but just allow to undo the step easily. Then work can go fast and uninterrupted while still being resilient to mistakes. Obviously not possible everywhere but where it is it should be the default.

Cool that you have a working backup, but restores are what counts. And they’re not instantaneous in almost all cases. So asking before certain destructive actions is still a good practice.
