mouse3.el allows that.  The skeleton can be large,
small, or nonexistent.  It can be the same everywhere
or the same for contexts X,Y,Z and differently the
same for contexts A,B,C.  And context-relevant items
or submenus can be added, beyond any "skeleton(s)".

It's not either-or.  Different things can be useful
for different contexts - different modes, users,
phase of the moon, whatever.  A context menu can be
useful whether it has submenus or not.  No one need
bother with, or be bothered by, submenus if the
top-level items s?he uses most (or exclusively) are
readily available.

Just because one thing is often useful (e.g. quick
access to simple edit actions), it doesn't follow
that other, different kinds of things can't also
be useful.

mouse3.el does that.  It's easy for a mode to add
its own context menu or replace a default one.

You have mouse3.el to play with.  It doesn't
hard-code stuff.
