Why is there not cut in OSX?

Okay I've owned a MacBook for some time now and in the past I've just ignored it, thinking I was doing something wrong. Why is there no ability to cut files or folders in Finder like you can on Windows (ie. move files)? I can easily drag the file/folder to the new location but it's not as easy as doing cut and paste. It's an intuitive feature that you would expect to exist on any operating system, I mean the option is on the menu, does anyone know the reason this feature seems to be 'disabed' ?

If you hold a dragged file over a drive, folder, shortcut, whatever, you can press spacebar too to immediately open that folder. T'is just as quick as cut and paste.

Thanks, that's a better solution than just dragging, not perfect because I have to keep the mouse button held but good enough.
