It's really a question of side effects. If you want to move a window you normally end up selecting that window as a side effect. To avoid selecting the window you have to hold down the control key. Why should the default assumption be that you wanted to select the window? You got me. If you want to move a file without side effect you've got to hunt down some public domain program (which apparently doesn't even work under multifinder). Again, why should the default assumption be that you wanted to select the source window. It's a mystery to me.
