I think you jump at conclusions from the title of that wiki page. To me
the page does not seem to discuss the term to be used to refer to the
menu.

Unlike the current "top bar", "menu bar" would be ambiguous. Unity's
launcher is well as much a menu bar IMO, even if it's vertical.

As Phil let us know at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2011-April/015631.html, the
GNOME term "top bar" has been carefully considered. Is there a good
reason for us to deviate from GNOME in this respect?
