They look similar because they're all following the same business model of franchising out a minimally expensive and highly standardized food service operation.

Architectural trends. It's as good as asking why all Gothic cathedrals look the same, or why all Tudor farmhouses look the same, why all European towns look the same. We're currently in the midst of modern/contempo architecture. If you don't like it, well, it'll pass eventually. But it'll probably move on to something even more abstract.
It's not like your before's looked any different. If you had any eyes, you'd notice the McDonald's, BK and Wendy's pretty much all have identical architectural styles. And the after has variation too, the Taco Bell and Wendy's follow the same style but McDonald's and BK are clearly going for something a little different, even if it is as blocky.

Because the same generic architect makes it easier to draw in stupid parents who feed their children cheap garbage because they're too lazy to actually make food and milliennials because they think "modern art" equals a blank canvas with a dick drawn on it.

On a side note I think this could be the premise of a Kelly comic. I can imagine Lady Liberty crying at the "new and improved" McDonald's already.

Starting about 15 years ago fast food chains that wanted to have a presence in some affluent areas were required to use neutral matching colors that blended with the area, as well as a more subdued architectural design. Although this was not as corpor-antiseptic as today's locations are, people seen it as different and thought "Wow, that looks so nice!"

the past few years we have seen a sterilization of design ranging from software to automobiles and building design. It's far cheaper and easier to use 90 degree angles and gradients of gray and white vs. anything that might have character or require an above average skill to build in under three months.

We have reached peak fast food. The only place left to go is down.
