Have you actually looked at the context menu? That option showed up whatever 
kind of item you clicked, and it made the context menu have up to 15 items. 
Many of those were not related to the item you clicked, which defeats the 
purpose of a "context" menu.

Even worse, I felt really confused and annoyed by those actions, since they 
simply were completely unrelated to what I wanted to do. I'm quite sure others 
would feel the same.

We still have those actions in the main menu, so I cannot see the real problem 
here. It would even make sense adding them to the toolbar within the project-
view, but not into the context-menu of unrelated items.
