It might have been the same in "vanilla" Windows 8, although it was a corner right-click as there was no "start button"; I don't entirely remember, heh.
Same with right-clicking on a running Modern app in the, eh, left-hand charms/task/app bar, I'm not sure what it's called. But doing so would get the same style context menu there, too.
So, there is some consistency there.
