RE: That far in the future and they forget the "Cut" and "Paste" ...

No you don't understand how "cut" and "paste" work technically.

Cut and pasting a file on the same volume takes no time, because the file physically doesn't move, only its representation within the filesystem tree is modified.

Cutting and pasting a file across several media (from computer to USB drive for example): The computer will COPY the file to the USB drive, and then DELETE it from its original location.

Try this example: cut and paste a large file to a USB drive. Then pull out the USB drive while it is in progress. The file on the computer will still be intact, while you will have an incomplete copy on the USB drive.
It is technically impossible to MOVE or CUT/PASTE across different computers or media, it is just a word used to simplify it for the users.

And I believe for similar reasons it is impossible to "move" minds on Pathos-II
