Why do people cut burgers in half to eat them?

Depends on the setting. If I'm at a McDonald's or a Five Guys, I'll just pick up the whole burger. If I'm ordering a burger in a sit-down restaurant, I'll cut it in half before picking it up.
It's an etiquette thing. Same way I'll eat pizza like an animal in some settings, but use a knife and fork in others.

Maybe if I made the mistake of ordering a burger in a nice restaurant, and it's super sloppy, so I don't make a complete mess.
But that's why I prefer to have burgers at home. So I can just eat them without having to care how it looks.

I do it if it's a really big burger, because I might eat half and save the other half for later. But I eat normal sized burgers without cutting them in half.
Depends on the burger. If you it's a big one with plenty of toppings and the beef is at least 8-10oz, I'll cut it to make sure it's cooked properly and the toppings don't fall out. If it's a shitty burger from McDonald's, no need to cut.
i made this to explian it 2 u

I have only done this on very large burgers. I'm sure people with smaller hands or mouths than me probably cut their burger in half more often. Sometimes it is necessary especially given the portion sizes in some places.
Some burgers are just stupid huge and sloppy that it's easier and less messy when cut in half. Also some sloppy burgers, you take a bite and everything just gushes out and it's so difficult to manage.
And then you got stupid shit like the macaroni and cheese covered burgers, pizza burgers, and so on that just sploosh everywhere.

OP betrays his premise, "isn't it easy enough" - admitting that it is in fact easier to eat when cut. why would you insist on doing something less easy? what are you trying to prove?
I don't think it's controversial to object to stunt foods for practical reasons. I'm just gonna walk right past that pizza-like object in the back, tho.
The worst thing about burgers are these types that recently you can see everywhere in Iran:
These aren't burgers anymore in my opinion. For me, burger is a thing that you can hold in your hands easily, not these huge craps.

If you ever go to a good restaurant with a good restaurant burger those are usually too big and packed with stuff to eat normally without making a mess and looking like an idiot. Plenty of places give steak knives jammed in explicitly for this.
But like a Big Mac? Hell no.

I don't generally do it myself, but I can appreciate it when a restaurant does it for me. I assume the idea is you can focus more on the taste and eating the burger if you're not having to struggle as much to hold the whole thing.
