The marketing team will definitely include it in their what's new 5.3 videos.

Already was done. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.3#Toolbars

Yes most people dont look in the menus for most things, but outside of the
basics, they will have to open up the menus.

Most users dont see the start center, unless you are forced to see it like on
mac, so it isnt a good thing to clutter up the start center with it.

It would be nice to put it somewhere but it wont be suitable in the toolbars,
as it would have to be in all toolbar implementations.

Kingsoft draws it ribbon UI's entire window, which is how it is able to put the
icon that place, but if you change to 'Classic Style', they use the OS toolbar
and have the button in the toolbar. So i'm not sure its possible to add it to
the title bar and would doubt that it could be done cross platform. But you are
more than welcome to open a new bug report to suggest it and ask devs its
feasibility.
