Why is it that a basic LB be moved while a standard LB is unable to be moved?

What is the difference between a basic LB versus standard LB?  How do we tell from ARM if a LB is basic or simple?

Yes, you are correct, Basic SKU Load Balancer can be moved, and Standard SKU Load Balancer cannot be moved as there are features like HA Ports and Diagnostics of the Standard SKU are only available in the Standard SKU. Hence, You can't migrate from the Standard SKU to the Basic SKU and also retain these features. Refer the link here.

Standard Load Balancer is a new Load Balancer product for all TCP and UDP applications with an expanded and more granular feature set over Basic Load Balancer. Basic Load Balancer exists within the scope of an availability set, a Standard Load Balancer is fully integrated with the scope of a virtual network and all virtual network concepts apply.

Both Basic and Standard SKU have a number of differences as outlined in this article.
