Unity: Contextual Menu

The Edit menu is system-provided, giving us limited control over its behavior. Attempting to disable specific items from this menu is risky and prone to regressions. For this reason, we decided not to fix this usability issue.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new Unity project using the Universal 3D template
Click somewhere on an empty space to make sure nothing is selected in the Editor
Open the Edit dropdown at the top toolbar of the Editor
Observe the Edit dropdown
Click the "Duplicate" option
Observe the Editor
Actual results: “Cut”, “Copy”, “Duplicate”, “Rename”, “Delete” and other options are not greyed out or deactivated even when they do nothing when pressed because no Object/Asset is selected
Expected results: Options that do nothing because it doesn't meet some prerequisites should be greyed out/deactivated
Reproducible with versions: 2023.1.0a3, 6000.0.73f1, 6000.3.14f1, 6000.4.4f1, 6000.5.0b5, 6000.6.0a3
Tested on (OS): MacOS SIlicon Tahoe 26.3
Notes:
Other menu's like Assets or GameObject etc. have options greyed out/disabled when they would do nothing/does not meet prerequisites
