If you dig into both, you will notice that they are not at all the same
(although they do overlap somewhat).
Hamburger > Configure Map > GPX Files is for turning on/off the display
of GPX files on the map, and selecting one or more to show on the map.
Hamburger > My Places > Tracks appears to be the main intended method
for 'organizaing' and 'analyzing' the tracks (note that the other menu
merely allows turning on/off the on-map display, but this one allows
sharing, deletion, renaming, detailed statistical analysis, etc. Now,
within the Tracks area, you can "show on map" individual GPX tracks.
This is where the functions overlap.
So if were asked to guess, the "configure map > GPX" area was meant as
a fast way to show/hide individual GPX files on the main map display,
while the "My Places > Tracks" was meant as the main
management/organizational area.
Would it be better to remove GPX files... from Hamburger menu >
Configure map ?
Since it appears to have been meant to be a fast way to turn on/off
track display on the map, I'd say "no". What you noticed however is
that it is not as "quick" when one has a large number of tracks, so it
could be improved by adding your suggestion (maybe either a toggle
between flat vs. nested views, or an auto-toggle from flat to nested
once the count of tracks exceeds some threshold).
