Cannot prompt user using rm bultin prompt option -i with xargs and find

I am using xargs and rm with find in order to remove files that follow a specific pattern defined by find as follows.

touch file
find . -name file | xargs rm

Everything works fine with the above code, but if I enter the -i option to rm, then executing:

touch file
find . -name file | xargs rm -i

prints:

rm: remove regular empty file ‘./file7’? user@host:$

without letting me enter y or n ? Thus the file is not removed.

What's the problem in here ?

I also am aware of -p parameter of xargs which works but it is more general. That is, it prompts user to execute the specific command, which is not user-friendly.
