You start/launch applications from the menu? That's my guess.

And you also shut down from it... I suppose calling it the Stop Menu didn't seem like a good idea, though. Making it the Windows logo does make it more similar to macOS and its Apple Menu (which does less and less over time, the opposite of Windows, ironically). I vaguely remember Gnome used the G 'foot' symbol for its main menu, though it doesn't scale down very well, so giving up on that was probably wise. For all three I tend to just to invoke their launcher with the meta key (meta-space for Spotlight on the Mac, though I like Albert personally) and type what I want instead of digging around in the menu, these days.
You start the shut down process from it...
Ouch, did it hurt stretching for that?
