As I said above, it's about consistency. If you really believe Cmd+C and Cmd+Shift+V paradigm is what macOS has chosen for themselves in their Finder, they should then choose it everywhere else in their own OS, including in their text editors, IDEs and what not. There should just not be a concept of 'Cut' anywhere else in their OS - you should always decide if you wanted to move at the time of paste across the OS. But it's not like that at all. Windows is consistent in that.
Enter for rename is perfectly sensible to me. Personally, I use it more than Cmd+Down to open files.
The Cmd+C + Cmd+Shift+V paradigm for cut/paste makes just as much sense as the Windows paradigm. Either way it's a just copy and delete function. Would you rather choose to delete at the time of the "paste" or at the "copy?" I don't see a clear reason to prefer one over the other.
