I can think of a few answers to this non-question :)
As a user I could be surprised that:
- I'm offered several actions, without it being clear that they're
mutually exclusive, and if I take 1 action the other
options disappear.
- Clicking "Start Tor Browser" or "View Tor Circuits" has the side
effect of closing the current window. That's not exactly obvious.

I suppose it would be an easy technical change to make. Now, we have
plenty of other rather easy technical changes on our plate, that will
solve issues identified via usability testing.
For me it's more of a UX question. If you're confident the UX benefit
is a net positive, I suppose we can give it a try :)

Oops, indeed. This looks like the way we start Tor Browser is not
properly registered by GNOME Shell.

I did not put it on the FT radar for now, let's do this if it gets
ranked high enough in terms of cost/benefit.
