I don't know for QtQuick Controls, but at least for QWidgets its not 'where
it wants to', but 'where Qt decides to put it'. There's special logic in
the native code for binding QMenu and it's items to macOS menu items that
handles actions with the (translated) text 'Quit', 'About', and 'About Qt'
and moves them to the applications' menu. So you can have a quit action in
your file menu by not calling it 'Quit' (or 'Exit'). Maybe 'Terminate'
would work.

I suspect the same logic is being applied to menus created via QtQuick
Controls.
