I think this constraint actually created some of the best UI ever. Desktop designers had gotten lazy and just stacked tool bar over tool bar and then sidebars too with hundreds of icons everywhere.
Was it really more discoverable to have the icon always on screen but embedded among so many other useless icons?

Drop-down menus with more or less standard categories were for discoverability. Toolbars were always meant for "quick access", representing the most common - and, usually, user-configurable, subset of commands in the menus.
