Why not?
Most computer users immediately look in the menu labeled "Help" for

If they turn off the features that are supposed to help them, what do
you think a "quick help" menu will do? And why won't it be turned off
as well?
Besides, if they turn off the menu bar and splash screen at startup, how
will we impart the existence of the "quick help" menu to them?
