This is hilarious. Just like in Windows and many other apps:
1. The item doesn't have to disappear
2. If the paste isn't carried through, the item just stays where it is.
This is a no-brainer.

What precise apps?
What actions in those apps?

I haven't seen lack of cut in one app since Macs in the 90s.
They also had the idiotic situation that you could copy a folder onto another folder with the same name and replace 10,000 files with 1 file.
(Whereas Windows would deal with each file within the folder individually, and ask you).
Not exactly proof of intelligent UI.
