Not entirely true, according to "The Fine Manual". Look on p. 11.
1.3.1. Importing images
To begin with darktable, you first need to import images. The import
module is in the
left panel of the lighttable view (Section 2.3.1, “Import”). *You
can either import from the**
**filesystem or, if darktable supports your camera model, directly
from camera. *

No, on Apple until DT 3.0.0 it was not possible to import from cameras or SD
card. Version 3.0.1 I have not tried yet.

Darktable does support imports directly from cameras and SD cards
(through the 'gphoto2' library). The Darktable preferences under the
"Session Options" tab let you set the patterns controlling where
imported images are copied to. Section 2.3.1 of the manual [1] goes into
detail about this.

Newbie alert, just started using this program.
So I finally figured out that dt does not copy files from an SD Card
(or camera) into a disk location. (I find this odd coming from a
Lightroom environment). I must use a file manager to copy files to a
permanent disk location, then "import" into dt. I find that awkward and
I'm looking for a better solution, one that is more elegant.

misconception present. "importing" in dt only involves adding an existing
file to the database, library.db. It does not involve moving a file from
its present location to another location, ie: sd card to local disk.
copy or move your images from camers/sd card/... to a physical drive and
then import to dt.
