The responses here feel a little jaded to me. I'm not a fan of the corporate-driven nature of the change, but I do think "could we do something more useful with the menu key?" is a fair question and the answer is almost certainly yes.
AI has limitations and yada yada but use cases for the Menu key seem slim, and I'd get more mileage out of an "answer a stupid question where I'm okay with a probability of it being right" button.
How long would it take to swim from Florida to France? Why is the hole on cans of soda indented? Why do some fundraisers collect tabs from cans instead of the whole can?
I'm sure you can configure a keyboard to do that now (and likewise, you can likely restore Menu's former function), but for the average user who doesn't even know that's an option Menu is a waste of space.
AI might not even be the best option to replace Menu, but I do think it's worth talking about replacing it.
