Because Menus tell you what is available and (preferably) group it by task.
Imagine a restaurant where there is no menu, the only way you can order food is by correctly pronouncing the first bit of the dish....if you pronounce it incorrectly or they don't offer that dish then you are told that it's not available, even when it is but you pronounced it incorrectly or there is a very similar dish that is called a different name.
