I do it, almost without planning to, with most new software I encounter. Perhaps because I learned computing in the WIMP days. To say "no-one" does it, is false.
The overall argument you're trying to counter is that the menubar doesn't aid usability and thus discounts itself from arguments of iOS vs Mac usability. This is also ridiculous. Everyone uses menubar all the time - sometimes they're more icon-y, sometimes more text-y... but they're everywhere and to say people don't look across them is to deny the existence of vision.
