It would seem that the end user has no idea what “cut” means. I never have to “go back to the original directory to delete the originals”. That is what “cut” is for.
Besides, as other comments pointed out, one can make a multiple selection, and then, in conjunction with “cut”, it will work exactly like the feature described at the end. 🤷♂️
I think what the user is trying to say: I’m moving a large number of files to different locations. So selecting a large number of files and copy pasting isn’t really helpful. I can imagine navigating to a folder, selecting the right file, copy, navigate to the other folder, paste etc. to be very inefficient. I can imagine in such a case a copy to / move to feature is useful and I have seen that feature in a lot of other places.
Of course the user would be helped somewhat if he understood what cut meant and the other commenter isn’t really helpful in this aspect. Just saying: “There is cut” doesn’t help if the user doesn’t understand what cut means.
Also calling a user out like this is really uncool, the user obviously doesn’t have English as a first language and/or has trouble expressing their selves. This doesn’t invalidate them or their request.
