Unix does not generally need such a menu.  It has a desktop similar to Mac
or Windows.  It also has a command line.  If you only used the command
line for everything such a menu is useful (and already discussed -
apropos).

And most of the things you users are interested in doing aren't on the
command menu anyway, i.e. your applications.  You make menus for these
yourself.  The same is true on unix.
