That's not true at all! The moment you cut a file on windows it is marked as hidden, which makes it disappear with default settings. It's treu that unless you paste it it will remain there in practice, but the UX gets it right.

Furthermore, you can cut once and paste to several places, with predictable semantics identical to every other implementation of cut+paste (though performance of the first paste will be different from subsequent ones).

Edit: I was entirely wrong about the second part, which does undermine my point considerably.

You were wrong about the 1st part too. Cut files don't change attributes and don't disappear.

At least Explorer marks them as hidden when you cut them, I didn't check the file attributes.
