Read the sentence before the fragment you quoted:

> in macos it is menu bar that host app menus but that concept doesn't exists in these other desktops and yet they have a top panel

Yeah I read it but it doesn't help me understand why it's considered bad UX, hence why I asked for clarification.

What isn't clear? Throwing your mouse to the top of screen to access your app's menus doesn't work when your app's menus aren't at the top of the screen.
