As has been stated "Don't you think we would be using those options if they worked better than File Explorer view. The truth is that moving and copying files inside SharePoint sucks big time."
Copying/Moving files in SharePoint in the browser has issues. Whenever I try copy/move in the browser, I cannot access every SharePoint Online site I am a member of. Therefore, the copy/move feature is not effective.
We are working on a project in which files containing confidential information are not suppose to touch the user local drive or network drive. Our organization still primarily uses Outlook desktop clients, due to the limitations in the web client. So if someone receives an email with an attachment, they should have the ability to upload directly from the email to SharePoint Online. This can be done with view in file explorer. Outlook 365 desktop client has the ability to upload email attachments to Office 365 groups, but that feature does not show all the available Office 365 groups. I'm a member of every 365 group in our organization. When I use the 365 Outlook upload attachment option I can only see 6 of several dozen groups. Not very useful.
You simply can't kill off something that works and provides value to people unless you have an alternative that works. Currently there is no alternative that works.
