Well, perhaps it is to you.  However, it is a reasonable assumption that an 
important part of a website like the store would be available on the main 
navigation and as 'donate' is prominent on the home page of many open source 
projects it is reasonable that visitors to the site should not have to spend 
time looking for it.  I did not even realise that there was a donate option 
until it were mentioned here - something I would have known if it were on 
the home page.
