This option is only available in Data View.

If you are in Layout View then you will not be able to Write a World File.

This software behaviour is unchanged in ArcGIS 10.4 for Desktop Pre-release.

For it to be enhanced I suggest you submit an ArcGIS Idea. I was surprised not to find one when I looked just now. If you do submit one then I suggest targeting ArcGIS Pro (where this functionality appears to be the same as ArcMap's) rather than ArcMap because I think it will have a better chance of being implemented there.
