Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Cross posting from my comment on #57375:

 Discussing this with @azaozz, for 6.2 we'd like to limit the use of
 `move_dir()` to plugins and themes only. The Core updater ought to retain
 its current behavior.

 This logic for this is simple: if the theme or plugin updater gets broken
 then it can be fixed by pushing out a minor update of WordPress. If the
 core updater gets broken then that's not so much of an option.
