Fancy burgers are tall because the burger format requires vertical stacking. You’d need fewer or thinner ingredients in order to have a short but wide burger. Fewer ingredients would mean a non fancy burger. You could also separate the ingredients into sections instead of stacking, but that would make the taste inconsistent across the burger.
So, this “wide burger” proposal is ignoring some major potential issues that can’t easily be dismissed.
Who cares about fancy burgers? A good patty and some nice melty cheese is all you need.
How am I gonna persuade customers to come eat at my shitty hipster brewpub with such basic burgers???
You telling me you can’t put peppers and onions on a wider surface? Doesn’t that just mean you end up with more of the fancy ingredients per burger than the inferior stacked format? I can easily fit four full onion rings on a widescreen burger without compromising the height to width ratio, whereas fitting even two fancy onion rings on a vertically oriented burger makes taking a bite impossible without, you guessed it, smashing that shit down to a more appropriate configuration.
Edit: shit, I didn’t even get to condiments. The short version is, I put barbecue sauce on a vertburg and I get a stream of sauce all over my fancy lad noshing bib. Slap that same sauce on wideburg and I get a mathematically perfect ratio of sauce to meat substitute (:im-vegan:).

This is an excellent point, which is thinner ingredients. The burger in the photo, for example, looks like it has some ingredients repeating in the stack, which imo is valuable burger space wasted on redundant flavors. I’m not necessarily against wide burgers, mind you, I just think it’s not as simple as the meme here claims, but maybe it can be done with careful ingredient selection and expert-level burger design.

What if we were to use some kind of burger compactor to compress a normally tall fancy burger into an extremely dense (but manageable) burger-like form?

You’re now talking about some kind of Scooby-Doo style sandwich compression tech, and I am listening.
Is that a wienerschnitzel in a bun?
I’m so here for wide borgors.

In 1984 animal farm burgers will be cut into slices.
Still think communism is good?
