Comment (by celloexpressions):

 @pbearne the point of making this a distinct control is that it offers
 more flexibility with manipulating the UI here via the Customizer API than
 you could get via traditional actions and filters. See
 `WP_Customize_Manager::add_control()`, `get_control()`, and
 `remove_control()` for ways to add additional controls here, modify the
 auto add control, or remove the auto add control.

 I think it's fine to say menu options by default, and plugins can
 remove/change that if they need to. A plugin that adds another basic
 checkbox control below the auto-add option would work perfectly with the
 current setup, though. I also think @nacin would probably prefer that we
 use `Menu locations` and `Menu options` for the capitalization, although
 I'd say it works either way as long as they're consistent.
