But for convenience FFmpeg CLI provides option `-y` for this task
No, it does not. The -y option only disables a very simple, unreliable
but convenient safety measure. It does not delete anything.
It actually will overwrite the output file if it already exists.

Which is  exactly what I mean by "delete".

but there is no delete action

Some of you argue, that "OS / file system tasks" should not be in the scope of FFmpeg CLI.

To me, "deleting/overwriting existing files" and "preserving file times from input to output" are *both* "OS / file system tasks"

what a nonsense - each and every application overwrites files when you press "save"
