I think it is relevant when talking about UX, intuition and expected behavior.
We refer to computer concepts using real world objects all the time - Files,
Folders, Desktops. Expecting to interact with those concepts in the same way as
in the physical world seems reasonable to me. I'm a command line user myself,
so never paid much attention to such GUI behaviors, but when confronted by new
user frustrations, I totally get their point.

Of course on a computer system there are other options than "moving" and we
should have ways to access those options via key modifiers or using alternate
mouse buttons. I don't think we can come up with defaults that everyone is
happy with. I just hope we can make the behavior configurable.
