Although you're maybe right from the logical point of view, I'm not sure if 'xargs -p' is used often enough to warrant adding such an option to the code. The next user may then come and want to have yet another option like --interactive-assume-n to type RET RET RET and pass a 'y' just for the argument [s]he want the command to be run.
