Well, I was an end-user until a year ago I’ve always felt this way. What you call moving in Finder is really dragging. Whether or not it results in a move or copy depends on the context. I don’t think the same thing should apply to explicitly worded actions where there is only one context. > The whole thing is only an issue when a different volume is the target, as > I've said (apologies for repetition).
