Sharepoint Online Move functionality is not working appropriately
Efficient or not is merely personal.
Your original post stated you need an urgent fix but you have just replied 1 months after.
This makes me think we have a different "personal" opinion of urgency
Backtrack to the tech: I'm still curious about how many "Move" action you need to perform during business hour.
- If the end-users need to heavily move items between libraries in SPO another option could be to sync the libraries using OneDrive and let them move the contents directly via windows explorer.
- If you have a business process in place that requires to move items from Library A to Library B then I would still go for Power Automate.
My believe is that the logic of the original functionality changed (not recently), to fight exactly the freedom you mentioned.
In large enterprises, people had the opposite problem by having to interact and choose between thousand of site collections/libraries across the all tenant.
By switching the logic in favor of the frequently visited list, the users can see directly the libraries they are working with.
In the scenario where the users need to deal with a large number of site collections/libraries then the OOB Move functionality is limited (I agree on that) and other solutions need to be considered (OneDrive ?)

mr_w1nst0nnever mind about my personal opinion. I had already worked with the workarounds you suggested in your email and was just trying to share my observations.
