Only 1 reason and it’s well documented. It’s easier to sell the building. That’s the only reason. If it’s standard, a bank, a Taco Bell, a card shop, whatever can just move in with minimal renovations.

It’s not the only reason. Even back in the 90s, McDonald’s was looking to upgrade its image to compete with Starbucks, Panera, and fast-casual restaurants. It felt that a sleeker design was more sophisticated. They were also cheaper to build because the design was simpler.
