60 to 80? That’s a lot of scrolling vertically to select items.
Not sure I understand the idea of talking about muscle memory and having things alphabetically at the same time. Once your muscles learn where items are then it won’t matter if things are alphabetically anyway. And in order to do so you have to access the items a fair amount. So conversely speaking one could argue that the items that one does not learn aren’t that important to find quickly because one doesn’t do that that often, and we know that because if one did we’d learn to find them by “muscle memory”.
And like I said, I don’t see how it’s a net positive for established users to relearn where items are in reorganized menus. I’ve already learned where things are. Why relearn if I don’t have to? Do I save more time than I lose? I doubt it.
If questioning my intelligence as a response to my disagreement (with a ‘constructive’ reason for my disagreement) = “welcome” I’d hate to see what “unwelcome” looks like.
