Menu options vs in game options

Why are the settings and gear options not available from the standard menu interface?
Currently one can only access them from within a ride.
This does not make sense!

Also in general the menu experience (like stopping a ride WITH saving means exiting Zwift…etc.

Same for country flag selection etc. Which can only be accessed via the website.

All these things should be accessable from the standard start menu instead of in several different places (both in game or online)
