The United States has thriving ecosystems which ensure there is sufficient capital allocated to McDonalds, such that if a neighborhood would be well-served by having not-phenomenal burgers available at a low price point, it will get a McDonalds funded trivially.

One of the conversations I have a lot in Silicon Valley is "Could $10k do anything at the margin? Pfft, if you've been working at AppAmaGooBookSoft, that's tiddliwinks." And I remember my budget for my first business was $60, and I had ~$2k in checking on day I went full-time.

Do you have a thesis along these lines?
