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. 🤷♂️
Tbh I am not surprised there are people who don't know what cut is. When I was in school a lot of people around me though it was just the graphical button to delete things. I think UI tried to solve the problem since them : cutting won't delete a file but will just shade it, which makes it more obvious that you should do another action.
