No, I hope you don't. ;-) That is, the fact that you notice such
inconsistency and it bothers you is a *good* thing for Emacs.
If you have the time, it is better to file a bug report/enhancement
request (`M-x report-emacs-bug'), preferably with some concrete
suggestions or even a patch or two, than it is to just adapt as a
user to any such perceived Emacs weaknesses.
It is good to find people particularly interested in the usability
of Emacs menus. This has generally not been a super high priority
among Emacs developers. But they will likely listen to your
suggestions. But hurry, before you adapt to the status quo. ;-)
