Accessing the new intended Folder for a File Paste, Windows vs. Mac

Copying or moving a file seems to have the following differences regarding the route to the intended destination location, as between File Explorer and Finder.

• In Windows File Explorer, you choose the intended destination folder by selecting it, by right clicking once on that folder, and then you do the paste command.
• In Mac Finder, you choose the destination folder by opening it, by right clicking twice on that folder,and then paste into a blank area, which may or may not have other files already in it. For visual confirmation that you are putting the item into the intended destination folder, you look at the rightmost folder in breadcrumbs.

If you use the Windows process in Finder, using a one-click destination selection, your file will not end up in the selected folder. I have not studied enough examples to be sure where the file ends up, but I think right now under the main user folder.

Two questions: (1) Is the above account correct; and (2) if so, is there Apple support literature out there about this? On for example, How to copy and paste on Mac - Apple Support, nothing is mentioned on the above point that the destination folder must be double clicked, so opened, not single clicked.

Does Apple, along with most Apple users perhaps, think the above point, double clicking the intended destination location folder, is just too obvious to write down? Or is it written down all over the place, and I just did a very good job of not noticing it, as a Windows user transitioning to Mac?
