The purpose was to make things easier for menus that are generated like the Buffers menu, Imenu etc. Access keys do not make much sense for such menus, so rather than require the code that generates them to escape all entries, it would be easier to mark the whole menu as lacking access keys, so the strings would be used as-is.
