CLI overwriting default config --generate-config with -y requires prompt

[pffijt]

Description

When overwriting the Jupyter Lab config with CLI the option -y does not work. It is still prompting for the overwrite.

$ jupyter lab --generate-config -y

returns:

Overwrite /home/user/.jupyter/jupyter_lab_config.py with default config? [y/N]

Reproduce

1. Install Jupyter Lab via pip on fresh Python 3.11 installation.
2. Run command jupyter lab --generate-config -y twice.

Expected behavior

When running jupyter lab --generate-config -y it should not require a prompt.

Context

• Operating System and version: Ubuntu 22.04
• Browser and version: -
• JupyterLab version: 4.1.5
