Please calm down your comments - we're just having a discussion here, we
don't need to make it manic.

The window menu is necessary for full keyboard control of the interface,
which is necessary in particular for users without fine motor control (you
may want to run GNOME without a mouse, or by turning on the 'BSOD' test
theme which turns the entire user interface blue - it is surprisingly easy
to use, due to the work done on accessibility and keyboard control).
