Burgers get an unhealthy reputation because they're associated with fast food, but they're not inherently bad. They have all 3 macros: protein, carbs and fat. And there's at least some veggies inside of them.
The real problem in fast food are the Fries (mostly carbs, no protein or micronutrients) and the Soda (which is all sugar). Notice that over the past few decades, the burgers have remained the same size (if not slightly smaller). It's the fries and soda that have been supersized.
Other options on fast food menus include milkshakes and dessert pies. And the salads, which have croutons and high-calorie dressing, end up being even more caloric than the burgers.
There's a reverse health halo effect. Someone would feel bad about eating a 550 calorie burger, but eating an 1100 calorie container of organic almonds doesn't set off the same alarms.
Well I don't like burgers with veggies, I prefer the meat patty and maybe some mushrooms and cheese. Though I'd be fine having a salad as well, but for sure I do not like my salad to be on my burger. I'd rather have a cheese/mushroom burger and eat some veggies on the side.
