It look great on macOS, FYI.

I like the idea of sub-menus.

101 "classical" UX, from back when research guided the field instead of
fashion, teaches us that hiding menu items like that leads to confusion.
All menu items should live in one place.  Always.  If not applicable, we
can disable them.  Just because we can make everything dynamic, it does
not mean we should, IMO.

I find this strange as well.
