Another consideration is learning. Because a menu structure is ~fixed,
repeated use of the menu to access commands helps you learn the menu

to look.
A very important point in my opinion. Our visual memory is very important and I believe the organisation in menus help us store the information in places close to our visual memory. (Just a guess at the moment, can't remember anything that in a more hard way support that right now.)
