Comment (by jeherve):

 > Past default themes (except Twenty Twelve) demand to have a menu because
 of the "bar" but Twenty Fifteen doesn't.

 That makes sense.

 > Twenty Fifteen is a blog focused theme and more often than not a
 personal blog don't need a menu, and it's nice to not force users to have
 a menu when they don't need.

 I would argue that a blog often has at least a couple of pages : About,
 and Contact. These 2 pages make sense on a blog imo, and "About" is there
 by default on every new WordPress site.

 I like the fallback because it also shows what the theme can do. Without
 it, new bloggers may wonder how they can add a list of pages to their
 sidebar, and may end up using the Pages widget, which doesn't look as good
 as a menu.
