A misunderstanding. The problem today is that all minor mode menus
goes into the top level menu, i.e. the menu bar. So every minor mode
you turn on takes space in the menu bar, but the space in the menu bar
is limited.
What I suggested is that minor mode menus should not go into the menu
bar. They should go into a submenu for minor modes instead. (Perhaps
that should be customized per minor mode.)
Normally minor modes are not in the menus unless they are turned on.

The menus are also used for this. Functionality are sometimes put in
the menus so that it is easier to find it. I think that is a good
idea.
