WTH why isn't there an option to require confirmation before a dashboard action

Month of "What the heck?!"

I have some buttons on my dashboard that get tapped by accident. I’ve switch them to a long press but what I’d really like is a “toggle with confirmation” action that would ask me a simple “are you sure” before performing the action.
It’s not a big deal when I tap a light by accident but it is when I accidentally arm the house while everyone is still at home.

Anything with a tap_action can have a confirmation dialog attached:

There are a few things that you can’t, like toggle switches, but for most things there is a way. What kind of button specifically?

Maybe this is just reduced to: why isn’t there ui to set this.

Unfortunately, many options for cards are only available in yaml. Ofc not a big deal, UI covers most of functionality.
