The factors that make McDinalds garbage are not matters of opinion or taste. You can like it, but it's still garbage, and still serves as an example like Windows, of how numbers are not proof of quality.
They are each doing something "right" to attain those numbers, completely different sorts of things in each case, but it's no virtue in either case, just a mechanism that works in the environment they operate in.
In both cases they are not doing something right, they are doing something effective.
It's food, it's accessible, it's relatively affordable, you can have it served with veggies if you want a more complete meal.
At the end of the day, a typical McD's burger consists of carbs (buns), 1 to 2 meat patties, some condiment and some basic veggies. How that's garbage I fail to follow.
Food is not garbage. Elitism like what you're displaying is garbage.
Is Subway garbage too? It's again, affordable, provides all nutritious daily values and some people don't have the means to Whole Foods their diet. Ridiculous argument...
Windows is the most compatible, most widely usable and useful OS in existence. My friggin Dell laptop can't even run Ubuntu without esoteric commands. The downvoted comment below is absolutely correct. Come back down to Earth.
