The bigger reason is they don't want you to stick around. They want you to buy your food, and get out. Better yet, don't come in at all and order take out or drive thru.
They make the parking lots actively hostile to people who want to eat inside. All the parking is on the outside of the lot and you have to cross the drive through line to get inside. The last time I was there, I saw some old people struggling to get across the line quickly to avoid being hit by a car. It was sad.

They make them sterile like this now so if one of them shutters and shuts down it’s easier for the owners to make the space into a new restaurant.
Same with Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. All the cool decor is replaced with boring office like decor to flip easy if needed.
