Where do people eat then? Coming from someone completely foreign to such a culture.

There’s almost always still a parking lot because of zoning laws, so you can eat in your car while parked.

This does feel like we are going back to the beginning of how fast-food started (minus the large crew of people)[0]

I have always preferred to sit in my car to eat at a park or some relatively peaceful place in the shade without too much activity. Sitting in a big dirty room with a bunch of people watching me eat has never been comfortable.

This unfortunately sounds like where the trend has been going at least since Covid.

People started treating "meeting other people in person" as a tiresome chore, and the world is adapting to that change.

This reminds me of the Sonic fast food chain. The first (and so far only) time I've visited Sonic was some years ago, I was staying at a motel across the street, walked over there to order, and was surprised there was no place to sit or even a normal counter to order at. The ads they run on TV give no indication that Sonic is strictly a drive-thru operation.
