Why not do both? Unix untilities do it sometimes this way: Use an interactive check for "scrubenv" but allow "scrubenv -force" not to ask. As many of the U-Boot users know Unix, this would follow from the "principle of least surprise"...

That would be exactly the other way round, i. e. provide an optional "-i" argument like "rm *" is doing in Unix.

The default shall be not to ask any questions.

rm defaults to not asking questions in *some* cases, but to asking in others. Hence the -f flag to rm.
