While I think bookmarks have their place, I disagree with the main premise:
> This is an extraordinary shortcoming. Imagine losing track of a stack of books when you move them from one room to another!
This is is how real life works -- there is no bookmarks in real life! If you had a stack of books, and you move it into the attic, all you your memory ("Bradbury is located near the floor on the left") will not work anymore. If a document was on your table, and you put it in the drawer, and then spilled the ink on the table, then your document will remain unmarked.
When applied to files, directories have meaning, and magic tracking links, as described in this article, would be surprising. When you delete old pictures from Photos, do you want some Keynote presentation, which lives in a completely different folder, break? When you move the file from 'current_info/' to 'outdated_info_do_not_use/', do you want old bookmarks to be still valid?
