Comment (by Joen):

 That would just be the in-the-flow bonus way to do it, though. The main
 way to create a pattern is to go into the site editor, into Patterns, then
 click the "add new" button. To that end it still makes sense to me to have
 just that, the site editor, as the central destination linked from the
 toolbar, and otherwise keep it lean. To me it's about balancing how often
 you do each of those actions; new post or new page you'd presumably do
 very often, whereas new patterns I would think a rarity. Having it in that
 dropdown would — not by a lot, mind you — but still add just that
 nanosecond of extra thinking, "which button do I click", and even afford
 you a mis-click.
