Debian's menu system is useful for window managers that don't use fd.o
specifications, unlike Gnome and KDE. The two can co-exist perfectly
happily.

Yes, the Debian menu sucks, but adding it to a fd.o menu implementation
is trivial using menu-xdg, so it’s not a big cost.

systems have so different philosophies and goals that they should be
considered as entirely different entities, that can exist together.
