ELI5: Why is a dish cooked at home considered "healthier" than the same dish cooked at a restaurant?

So why is a dish made at home considered healthier than the same thing I get at a restaurant?

It's not inherently healthier, but restaurants tend to do things slightly differently. They use tons of salt and butter or other fatty oils and sauces. It helps seasonings stick to the food better and tastes amazing, but does a number on its calorie count.

I used to work at a chain restaurant where, for a regular burger, they would butter the insides of the bun before lightly toasting them on the flat-top. Speaking of which, it did not get as hot on that surface as the regular grill and let the beef keep more of its grease and juices, compounding the "unhealthy" nature of it.
