Is this really necessary?

I see little benefit from giving either of these a shorter alternative, and a huge downside for potential confusion, especially because nobody else uses -p for --prefix, and other commands use -p for something completely different.

The same deal for -f, but it is probably worse because it is typically used for --force.
