Dragging a file from a file-browsing application into a different application (like the terminal) just to get the path is unintuitive and not obvious.

Showing the Finder path bar is the more obvious option. Nautilus, the file browser on some Linux distros, supports this as well.

Dolphin, in KDE land, has this functionality as well.

Not any application, the operation is “convert this thing i am dragging into text” for which the result is obvious.
