It could be an evolving area to move files across libraries, however doing some testing
The option to unselect move of permissions appear only when one file is selected to be moved to a different SharePoint site. The option does not appear for bulk moving or moving of a file to a different library within same site.
What happened to the unique permissions on the moved files when there is no option to uncheck move of permissions
Move of file to a different library in same site - without unique permissions : moved files inherit permissions from library
Move of file to a different library in same site - with unique permissions : moved files retained permissions from source, i.e. sharing links and direct access are carried across
Bulk move of file to a different library in same site - without unique permissions : moved files inherit permissions from destination library
Bulk move of file to a different library in same site - with unique permissions : moved files retain unique permissions
Move of file to a different library in different site - with unique permissions/: if ‘keep sharing with same people is unchecked , the permissions are not copied across, else unique permissions are copied across if checked.
