TText is the content. In the case of this reply, it's the words I typed earlier that you are reading now.

Type is the format. In this case it could be anything, since I can't guess your browser configuration. It would also include the bold formatting at the start of the first two paragraphs.

Commands that are meant to edit the content of text belong in the Edit menu. That's where editing is done and where most users expect to see such commands. If you see Type and Text as interchangeable, then it would be equally logical to move Cut, Copy, and Paste to the Type menu.

Not all commands are where they should be. For example, Keyboard Shortcuts should be in the Illustrator menu (on a Mac), since it's more of a preference than an edit. You're not editing the document content when you modify keyboard shortcuts.
