You mean the discussion about smartness, dumbness and nonsense? I
agree with you.
Please address the originator.
which is you
a write operation is identical no matter if a file with that name
already exists - and both, the application nor the filesystem, cares
waht is something *to you*

your brain damage starts with "But for convenience FFmpeg CLI provides
option `-y` for this task"
"-y" - just open the file for write and that's it is the *default* and
don't need to be provided - it just happens
the convenience is "look there is already a file with that name! in case
you didn't know we don't overwerite it without a warning so you don't
lose data"
OVERWRITING A FILE IS NO SPECIAL TASK - IT IS THE DEFAULT
PRESERVE THE TIMESTAMP IS WRONG BECAUSE THE NEW FILE IS NOT 3 YEARS OLD
LIKE THE INPUT FILE - IT'S CREATED NOW
