I'm probably just cranky. Moving files is a universal use-case, i.e. xargs predates Bourne. Maybe PowerShell hasn't arrived at the amount of reliability testing we expect from a data utility. If I saw it being used as such, I would ask for many assertions for both data manipulation and filesystem traversal.
for the record

  mv C:/folder 
will only delete if folder is empty
