Assuming a fresh bun, tomato, lettuce, 100% beef patty/chicken fillet etc

Usually it’s because of their fat content, calorie content, lack of vitamins and minerals, and side dishes. If you get an 80/20 burger patty and cheese on a 1/2lb burger, you can be pushing like 50 or 60 grams of fat. A large burger can easily run 1000 Calories. And even though it’s got ‘veggies’ on it, they’re ones that typically don’t provide much nutritional value; the usual burger tomato and lettuce are mostly water. The bun is bread, even if it’s a good bun; relatively simple sugars. And then you can’t have burgers without soda, fries, or potato salad, which tend to be quite unhealthy.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good burger. But I’m not going to pretend that it’s good for me to have a 1000-1600 Calorie meal.
