No, not really. The original idea was that you could just push the mouse up and get to the menu as it would be at the edge of the screen. It’s fine if you have a single program.
Current window managers, especially the Unix ones are specifically designed to let you juggle with dozens of windows. And the screen resolutions we now have make this more comfortable. Maximising every window like people did on a Mac+ no longer makes any sense. So the Apple style of interface makes no sense either.

I think it’s like the people who are trying to turn Linux into Windows, a fear of the unfamiliar.
