Putting the Menu Bar in it's correct position is a question that has been asked so many times in bugs and also in the Support Forum, but despite being perfectly capable of creating this for decades and just about most programs I've ever come across using it, the new supernova design seems to present a huge problem with coding to faciliate it.
I do not any program that does not put a Main Menu Bar at the top, but it doesn't mean it does not exist.
Fortunately, this can be fixed at the moment by creating a 'userChrome.css' file.

This comment offers more comprehensive explanation on why it was positioned in that location.

Therefore it is not seen as a defect and seems it will not be considered as an enhancement.
