When I worked in fast food all fry containers got 1 scoop of fries. If you got a large, you could squeeze more in, but mgmt disapproved. So it’s kind of a mix bag

Wasn’t the large fries always a ripoff? I think someone showed once that it’s only marginally more fries than a small fry.

Historically, it was one of the cheaper items on the menu. In college (20 years ago) I could get a large fries for under $1.
Also one of the tastier meal items given that they went so fast you could safely assume they’d be fresh, why the sandwich options could be sitting in the warmer for half an hour or longer depending on the speed of business.
