You seem to be framing this as a XDG vs menu formats. I see it in great

from the TC decision are applications, WM/DE and its users from either
format.
Only if WMs keep on using the Debian menu instead of the XDG menu.
Err, no, the TC has explicitly made it "impossible" for the two systems
to coexist, breaking existing support, and forcing maintainers to choose
one or other ecosystems, w/o any working solution in sight for WM/DE not
supporting the XDG system. Which has made the situation even worse than
before, in a very anti social way.
You might want to package https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdg-menu
which answers exactly the questions you have been asking.
