You are right, it doesn't make much sense. The solution is as Frank
Sokolic explained, to choose a projected coordinate system as the
project CRS and QGIS will transform all the layers in this CRS and use
meters for distance.

Would a scale bar in metres (or in feet, yards, cubits, &c.) make any sort of
sense on a map that uses a geographic coordinate system? I would have
thought that scale distortion would make such an entity very misleading.
