It's a common situation– you create a simple view that may do little more than filter on one content type in order to get a listing of press releases or links or recipes.
Sure, you can explain to your client and users that going to "Create content" and clicking press release or link or recipe will, when the post is submitted, get it automatically listed on this Views page. And that's pretty nice. But it's a lot more intuitive if the link to create relevant content were right on the view itself.
