My theory is the McD corporate strategy is based on real estate values. They buy the very choicest corner lots in decent neighborhoods and hold them while the burger business simply pays the bills and the estate taxes per location, and they do very intensive deep dives into how to keep their property values high. Based on this, cheap ice cream would put enough actual ice cream and sweets stores out of business that it would affect the area, so they make sure consumers can’t rely on it.
