Wouldn't it be more UX-friendly if nested files will move with the parent one when I change the location of the parent file?
(e.g., drag and drop, or copy-paste).

It would be the same experience when I change the folder's location, including its content.

Makes good sense. Delete should perhaps also work this way, though that's more debatable.

Yes, it looks like UX requires something a folder-like behavior for the chain of nested files

setting explorer.experimental.fileNesting.operateAsGroup will enable this
