They wouldn't do it without crunching the numbers first.

They may lose 15% of their customers, but the ones that stay bring in 25% more money with less capital spent on labour and resources by having less customers.

The point isnt making good food for people. The point is funneling money towards the conglomerate that owns the Wendy's franchise. This is capitalism.
