That ship has already sailed. I think it it's the right thing to do. Mac users want a screen menu bar and they want the okay and cancel buttons to be in the correct place in dialogs.
Respect the conventions and UI guidelines of the platform. The best Swing Java UIs were ones that used the platform look and feel so it wasn't easy to tell it was a Java app.

In this particular case Mac got it right and Windows, as usual, has the screwed up UI. But if JavaFX accommodated the Windows behaviour I could tolerate it because it would just be following the Windows convention on the Windows platform.
