I'd like to offer two reasons for keeping 'Profiles' at or near the position in the admin menu it usually would occupy as a post type:

  1. It would help reinforce the idea that users are a WordPress feature for site administration (alongside Plugins, Appearance, etc.), while profiles are a type of content that can be edited, promoted, shared, and so on.

  2. It seems not-unlikely that users who can edit profiles won't be able to edit users. For those users, the Profiles menu item becomes further isolated from the other content types they can edit.

Compelling argument. I’m not married to where I put it, so I don’t mind that change at all.

Related, from that screenshot “Profiles” then “Profile” is also quite confusing (no matter where we put it). We should do something about that... Perhaps change “profile” to “My Account”. Or change it to “My Profile” with a submenu to differentiate between user account and frontend profile.
