Sometimes, user interfaces can be really constraining. A whole lot of stuff to do, and not nearly enough pixels to do it in. In regular desktop applications, in is extremely common to put useful and repetitive items in a context menu, to keep them from cluttering up the screen. However, it is generally frowned upon to put context menus on a web page - because then they will interfere with the browser's normal context menu. But, as always, there are special cases - for instance, Google Maps has its own context menu, and it seems to work pretty well.
