I'm not at all a Mac person, but this whole comment was a really interesting read.
Regarding the shortcut-listeners-not-accelerators things in Linux, is it really not equivalent when an app uses a fully featured toolkit like Qt that (presumably) has support for specifying the semantics of various controls?
Aside: I still miss the Unity desktop environment that Ubuntu used to have. It had its flaws for sure (e.g. poor performance and relying on a patched version of Mutter), but its implementation of a global menu was just superb. The ergonomics of having it at the top of the screen were great, and having each entry be searchable was a breath of fresh air. I've been happy enough with KDE Plasma for a while now, but would jump at the chance to have that global menu with search again.
