That requires you to have both places visible on the screen at the same time. It's also a mouse+keyboard interaction, the least usbale kind of interaction.

You can drag a file across tabs, folders, dive in folders in finder, drag it across desktops and more.

I don't know you, but my left hand is on the keyboard all the time, and my thumb is on the command almost 99% percent of the time. It's just an instinct-like action for me.

Also, you can use cmd+opt+v it seems. TIL that.

You can use "move item here" (CMD + ALT + V) after you copy a file.

Speaking about discoverability, I've just found it a few minutes ago searching for "move" in the help menu.

No it doesn’t, Mac has spring loading for exactly this reason. This is a feature which has existed on Mac since before I OS X. Learn the system properly before assuming it is crap or simply ask.
