The issue is that these underlying menus are not dynamically built, they are created once before any main window is even created. If not built dynamically then any recent files list taken from settings would not reflect any newly opened epubs since the Sigil was first launched.
When I get some free time I will look at how much work building the underlying file menu dynamically would entail. But again this is very low priority.
You can, of course just use the File "new" menu and then use its resulting main window's recent list to do what you want even if you "fall into that trap".
