To me, imenu is a facility to find definitions of functions, so it is
conceptually very similar to M-. and other such features.  We don't
perceive M-. as a "go" command, do we?

M-s is not just for searching.  It has, for example, a set of bindings
that invoke hi-lock commands, which are not about searching at all.
We could have a similar "M-s i" prefix for imenu commands.
