I think it's a offshoot of the shabby chic aesthetic. Expensive stuff made of cheap elements because you're being sold a certain flavor of minimalism.

I suspect it's also so the rich assholes can pretend to be in touch with society by occasionally "getting the poor people eating experience" (at a premium of course). They emulate classic burger joints and diners while being ten times more expensive with none of the charm.
