I used to think this when I got my first MBP six year or so ago. Actually, you're just looking at it wrong; that is, back to front.
Windows: 1) Cut this file. 2) Paste it here.
So cut is the first instruction in the set, and you only have to confirm the destination afterwards, with 'copy it here and delete the original' thus being the only available option. Conversely,
macOS/Finder: 1) Select the file to work with (Copy command). 2) Right click in desired folder, then select either 'Paste Item' (copy and paste a duplicate here), or alternatively alt+right click for 'Move Item Here' (put the file here, delete the original).
Therefore Finder gives you more flexibility to work with a file then decide what t do with it. I know it's counterintuitive (literally back to front) to Windows habits, but it makes sense once you know. How many times in Windows I've cut or copied a file in a rush/absent-mindedly, only to realise I needed the opposite command... On a Mac you just say 'this is the file' and
then decide what to do with it. Simples.
OP, it's easy to get to grips with. Coming from Windows it'll likely wow you with how polished and attractive the UI is, and it'll have a fair novelty factor for a while. Then little niggles will creep in and annoy you, due to your own lack of knowledge (like my initial issue with not knowing how to 'cut' files). Pretty soon you'll suss it all and you'll love it.
It's not Windows, and it's not *nix. It is what it is. The networking stack is decent enough, it's really stable (though ironically I find Windows 10 a little more stable these days) and it's intuitive and fun to work with. Find a website or book with a real newbies' guide, and/or some YouTube videos. Dig in, have fun, and you'll soon be getting along like a house on fire. Simple tweaks/add-ons make it even more seamless and useful, for example the free library
QLVideo to add thumbnailing for all video formats in Finder, Movist for hardware accelerated h264 MKV playback, and - if you're as bad as me - Murus as a front-end for the inbuilt pf firewall.
The days of restricted software catalogues and whatnot are long gone, and if it's out there chances are it's on Mac (even MS Office etc). In addition there are tons of Mac-only apps that really are very good. Just note that Macs - like all modern PCs - thrive on an SSD (some models can't be upgraded by you, only at factory). I'd say 8GB RAM minimum but I run 16GB.
I'd be highly surprised if you didn't like it. The hardware alone is worth it. Despite the old 'low spec' stuff that gets trotted out (I used to be in that camp!), in the real world you realise that it's a very carefully thought out mix of components with a really efficient OS that makes full use of the hardware on board. I adore my MBP, despite having Win10 and various Linux/BSD boxes in the house. It'd only ever get replaced with another (better) one.
