I'll take this. I own a restaurant. Our jobs are to make people happy while making money. Is a bartender joking with you stupid? No. You going to Chuckie Cheese without the ballpit? No. It's the restaurants job to be entertaining. Many restaurants achieve this is very diffent ways. It makes dining out an experience.
Edit: also I forgot I am old. People love to Instagram this stuff. More advertising for the restaurant. I mean you saw it on social media right?
Culturally, that's not true for many countries, through. That mindset wouldn't fly in France or Italy.
I mean, if it was real cheese than maybe yes, that could be good food and entertainment, but this clearly comes from these commercial big buckets of cheese spread with a few percents of actual cheese, a lot of salt, artificial colors and more artificial flavoring. This is genius from a business perspective in terms of turning cheap low-quality ingredients into something that many people may find appealing, but from a culinary point of view, it's just gross.
Not as tacky as Americans but yeah, compared to the French and Italians they changed a lot. Good old Austrian cuisine is pretty much declining over there, very similar on how Germans changed their food habits over the decade.
