I will get banned again soon, worry not.
True story: I used to work with an older lady who refused to eat at Wendy's because their burgers are square and not round.

Never been anywhere that had a White Castle (unless we're talking about the movie "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle", which was actually filmed in Toronto.
Philly has it. Shocking, I know.
But “gross.”

Nah. Might have been the specific location but it was bad.
White Castle was weird. Only had it in Vegas but the texture was weird.

I’m somewhat surprised that lower end burger chains have fought off the higher end ones like Shake Shack and Five Guys and are still doing really well. Any economists here to chime in with theories as to why? Their product is inferior but not that much cheaper.

A bit different up here as we don't have a bunch of them.
I'm guessing part of it is locations here . Eg. There are actually 5 (6 if you count the mall food court) mcdonalds on my drive to burger priest (25 minute drive).

From Newfoundland but they were in Ontario as far back as the mid to late 70's. A poor man's KFC.

Standard consumer theory doesn’t say much about that (it assumes people will shift to a “better” product, all things equal), but Behavioural Econ (a meld of Psych and Econ) might offer clues about brand name loyalty. Not my “area of practice”, a quick glance of the lit seems to indicate there are psychological factors that can override price and quality considerations (some kind of trust-commitment-loyalty chain, it seems.)
I also wonder about food science. Potato chips are engineered to turn us into addicts, and it might be the case with this stuff. Some people simply might prefer it because some flavour profile is optimized.

Never understood the hype for WC. Quite mediocre.

McDonald’s is consistently ok, if you want that taste, they deliver. My kids love it and honestly their double cheeseburger is delicious, especially for the price. Wendy’s has a niche spot, it’s not bad if that’s what you’re looking for. Jack in the Box is similar to Wendy’s but they get creative with their menu. BK I have no idea how they still exist.
Yeah Mickey D’s is the best of the lower end ones, by a lot. Those fries . . .
