The hamburger bun has sugar, dextrose and maltodextrin, etc in it. When I bake bread at home, I don't add those things. The ketchup has corn syrup. These things might be small but maybe they add up.

You bake your own burger buns?
Not OP but when I make burgers at home I bake my own potato buns (not necessarily on the same day). No bakery around me makes soft savory buns and the prepacked store-bought ones have this weird synthetic and stale flavor.
I've baked boules, baguettes and pretzels, but not buns (yet). I use Jim Lahey's no-knead bread recipe. Easy and delicious.
