You could suggest making it impossible to disable the menu, at least for
info buffers.  Or what about including menu preferences into every mode,
so that I can have the menu automatically enabled when it may be helpful
and disabled when it is not?  After all, it may be a bit unlikely that I
disable the menu for modes I do not use often.

That users can get easily stuck in the help page of the help system of a
software when trying to read the documentation of this very software
might indicate that it is not always a good idea for this software to
stick to ideosyncratic key bindings just because the software is used by
multiple persons and not easy to use for anyone.
