Agreed.
I have found that it's not obvious that "describe-key" can also be
applied to menus and buttons. Therefore, I would suggest adding a
"What's this?" entry to the standard Help menu that simply does
describe-key. You can leave the "Describe Key" entry in the Describe
menu of the Help menu. Because of MS-Windows precedent, this should
make it's use a little more obvious.
