Don't change it because
it was always that way is always a BS argument.
It's a trivial change anyway, will take a developer 1 hour to do.
Then they can revise the menu structure so it looks all cool and iPhone like for touch users ;)
Actually I hope they do, although it would be nice to have a
classic menu option as well (so people don't complain that the
start button wasn't taken away from them

).
