Also startling, that ingredients are less than 25% of the menu price.     No small incentive to cobble something together at home.   

 

Yes, but even cooking at home has overheads and your ingredients will probaby be at retail prices not wholesale. You also have fuel costs, and have to rent or purchase your home, maintain your kitchen appliances and utensils etc. Pay taxes, too.

Sure you could make a cheaper meal at home but the comparison is not that simple.
