CURRENT BEHAVIOUR is inconsistent. If you create a Routing Folder and drag tracks in, they are not routed via the routing folder, nor if you create new tracks or right click track header and Move To an existing routing folder. If you right click Move To a NEW routing folder, or convert an existing Aux you then (and only then) have an option to route all the tracks to the routing folder.

REQUESTED BEHAVIOUR to make them consistent. Have a preference to always route Routing Folder tracks via the Routing folder, so regardless of how you put things in there they always work as expected.
One of the features of a routing folder is that the tracks inside them can be routed somewhere else (they really should have been called aux folders), so it would actually be a problem if they automatically changed the outputs of existing tracks dragged into them.

On the other hand, a key modifer during the drag would be the best solution to your wish. Like hold down option/alt while dragging them in and then all dragged tracks get routed to the folder's aux output.
