That's referring to the long-ago time period when MS first decided to forego the global application menu bar in favor of the Windows taskbar. Indeed, the fact that many programs no longer feature traditional menu bars, but that they do still feature close/maximize/minimize buttons in their titlebars, only further reinforces how much more important those buttons are. Even when I used Mac, even when using apps that had useful entries in the global application menu bar, I cannot remember a single instance of voluntarily using the global application menu bar for anything (other than "please close this app", because the year is 2022 and Mac still refuses to acknowledge that closing the last window means I want the app to close).
