I understand what you're saying but xfdesktop isn't that well behaved.

If you have a menu.xml in /etc/... then it uses that and takes
menudefs.hook from the same directory.

If you have a menu.xml in .config/... then it uses that and takes
menudefs.hook from that directory.

Therefore if you don't copy menu.xml then running update-menus as a user
has absolutely no effect as it updates the local menudefs.hook but there
is no menu.xml that uses it there.

If you want to make changes to the menu.xml before it gets processed
then you should use the system.menu.xml
