I think you misunderstood. If you're dragging thumbnails onto a flash drive, it'll copy the source photos, not copies of the thumbnails. The terminal example is thumbnails or full photos since the files themselves can't be used by the terminal. You have to specify whether you want it to pull a location for the thumbnail or the full photo. In that instance, you wouldn't be using multiple files because there's no use case for a terminal where sequential files would be used without some kind of additional characters or arguments.
Really? What if you want to copy a group of images? If what you describe is correct, when you drag and drop a group of images, wouldn't you get copies of the thumbnails.
I'm pretty sure my GF did this. I asked her for full res copies of some images of us, and got resized low-res versions. She uses iPhoto said she just dragged them out of the app. I had to fuss around with it and finally got what I wanted by using an export feature.
Dragging and dropping each full-resolution images one by one sounds like a nightmare.

If this is what's now expected from Macs, oh how Apple has fallen. I can think of zero use cases where you'd actually want to drag and drop the thumbnail out, but not the full resolution image.
