You can "just drag", but if you alt/option drag you get a copy operation instead of a move operation. Sure, using option/alt to get a copy isn't "intuitive", but that wasn't the point. The point was to note that the consistency in macOS is such that even less known things like alt dragging has been consistently implemented essentially everywhere.
