This is certainly specific to your system's defaults, since startup.el
clearly says:

  ;; If frame was created with a menu bar, set menu-bar-mode on.
  (if (and (not noninteractive)
           (or (not (memq window-system '(x w32)))
               (> (cdr (assq 'menu-bar-lines (frame-parameters))) 0)))
      (menu-bar-mode t))

And since X and W32 frames are created with a menu bar by default (see
frame-notice-user-settings), I don't see any platform that doesn't
have a menu bar by default, unless overridden in one of the umpteen
possible ways.
