Unlike Gruber, I do think iOS needs a menu bar, or something similar. Maybe on iPad only due to size constraints. Something optional for apps (not every app needs one), hidden by default (something you can invoke with some gesture), that includes common commands (like text selection commands, undo and redo, etc) and eventually expandable with Shortcuts. At least one thing besides the keyboard and text input that is common between apps.

He just says "I’m not arguing that iOS should have a Mac-style menu bar." which makes sense, because doing so would distract from the core of his criticism -- adding a menu bar is only one possible way to address it. And there is a footnote on that sentence, too, which suggests that in a sense, Apple is already having a (bad) fake menu in their iWorks apps...
