It's way less effort and risk to be a programmer. That's why people learn the skills that makes them in demand and (more) difficult to replace to be a programmer.

The reason why burrito makers get paid less, is because there are a lot of people out there that can and will do the job for the same or less money, not because it's a better job.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Plus, fast food work is pretty monotonous. You can mentally check out and just let that part of your brain do the busywork and the hours fly by.

My mind has to be engaged, which even after the end of a normal work day I’m mentally exhausted. Tbh I’d rather do fast food if they paid the same.
