It annoys the hell outta me, nothing like wasted space, plus ads in some apps. You can do like I do... Email and leave reviews telling them to fix it according to Google's design guidelines, and that they've had plenty of time to fix it. Several have responded, others like Amazon, eBay, Redbox, etc we just have to wait and see if they eventually fix it. Google should force them to comply to the menu button placement when submitting an app. It really gets to me when I get an update notification, but it hasn't been fixed.
