Per Apple's HI guidelines: Menu Item Titles A menu item title describes an action or attribute. Use an ellipsis whenever choosing a menu item requires additional input from the user. The ellipsis character (…) means a dialog or separate window will open and prompt the user for additional information or to make a choice. See: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/macos/menus/menu-anatomy/ Notes: I don't believe that the above description of "additional input" or a "separate window" applies to submenus.

It just occurred to me that the arrow (">") glyph displayed in macOS menu item titles implies this, making the ellipses redundant.

Good find! I was wondering about these ellipses.
