How would making food at home be more expensive than McDonald’s ?

Time is money and if you can't afford the time to cook and clean, you're stuck brown-bagging it at a fast food restaurant.

Is this some sort of an American thing I’m too European to understand?

It's a consequence of American suburban life. Transit time costs are enormous. If you're throwing an hour+ into your commute, you often don't have time to cook. Fast food lets you grab a meal and eat in the car on the way home.
