Yes. Finder is just some app you can move files with on macOS.

Finder is macOS equivalent of Windows Explorer (maybe, it’s been a while). I assume Linux desktop suites have various similar processes. In other words, a second optional layer (with more features) to access runtime libc file manipulation api.

Boy oh boy would you hate AppleScript. This is what I have to type to throw files in the trash instead of deleting them.

tell application ”Finder” to delete POSIX file “/full/fucking/path/to/file”

I stopped reading this comic back in the mid 00s because they didn’t read the Wikipedia editing guidelines, and they got scolded when they edited things incorrectly, so they tried turning their audience into getting revenge on Wikipedia somehow.
