I think the (OS name here) start menu is the hamburger menu.
Except on mac, they have several icons that are hamburger menus =/
It's common, just different icon.
No, not all. The start menu is a launcher icon with the most common software. Fvwm had a similar root menu, but with no icon for it, you just clicked anywhere. The hamburguer menu today it's used as a application menu replacement.
Back in the day it wasn't used, period. Any software, either Win32, Motif, Delphi, Athena or such used a menu to access the most common items, the settings and a toolbar for functions. There was no icon replacing all of it.
The same with Macs. Mac OS 8, 9, and then, X. No hamburguer menu. The uberknown Mac menu and a set of Cocoa icons. That it.
