Ah, thus the long-term master plan that each menu item can be
enabled/disabled per-user (and in fact from a user point of view,
"installing" and "uninstalling" a piece of software may not be different
from adding/removing it from the menu, though from an admin/root point
of view it may be).

This is already possible today editing text files (see the XDG menu
specification) of course, there's just no GUI on it.
