It bothers me that no one wants to fix this. It would seem more logical to me that deletion of a file via the delete key needs more confirmation than deleting with the mouse.

If you delete with the mouse that requires two clicks and mouse movement. It's pretty intentional...
If you delete with the delete key, all it requires a file to be selected and hitting the delete key. There is a lot of opportunity here for accidental deletion. Say you just finished opening a file and then something fell on your keyboard and pressed the delete key. File is gone, and you might not even know it. Or say you meant to press the End key to go the last file and you pressed delete...
