9,230 PointsWhy do we have to create the function register_theme_menus()?
If register_nav_menus() is what actually adds our menu to wordpress, then why are we wrapping it in another register_theme_menus() function?
I don't see the point of it?

5,095 PointsI think we (technically) don't have to. We could hook the 'register_nav_menus' function to 'init' like this:
add_action( 'init', register_nav_menus ( array( 'primary_menu' => __( 'Primary Menu' ) ) ) );
but this code it's harder to read and understand
