I agree with you that pivot table is about data analysis, but the insert menu
is not limited to just objects like an image, as you can insert a comment,
hyperlink, function, etc. Similar to a chart, pivot table utilizes existing
data on a sheet to render that data in a different way.

There can be exceptions to the rule of having unique locations in the menu for
each function and it seems this likely will be one of them. So i'll add an
additional entry in the data menu for it.

The word create or add could be substituted for insert with many of the entries
in the insert menu. Are we inserting or creating a chart, textbox, or shape?

You cant please everyone with the reorganization of menus, luckily people still
have the ability to customized them.
