> which makes no sense

Very strong words.

trashing a file is moving it to the trash which is exactly what the feature
does.

delete on the other hand is ambiguous, is it permanently deleted or moved to
trash ?

When a file is trashed, it normally stays on the same filesystem, meaning it is
instantaneous, the file only moves of parent folder.
There is no performance impact.

> The concept of a trash is kind of weird anyways

That's your opinion, yet all major OS and Linux DE have this concept. Most
users are familiar with it.

We want our UI to allow user error. For files deletion this safety net is the
trash.
If you don't want your trash to accumulate data, you have options to empty it
or limit the amount of data stored in there.

If you want you can make a service menu that will have the behavior that you
want rather then the default provided action.
