I have gone through drivethrus on my bike (without incident BTW) frequently in the past (not anymore now that I've moved).
It had NOTHING to do with "stereotypical American laziness" or not wanting to "be bothered to get off my bike" and everything to do with not carrying 10 pounds worth of locks with me on a 7hr mountain bike ride (which is dangerous to me) and refusing to leave a bike worth $3k+ outside alone while I ordered but wishing to show some respect for the establishment by not dragging my filthy, muddy bike through their dining area. After I got food I'd sit in the outside patio and eat.
In what was an urban area with a high bike theft rate I was protecting my property with the best compromise I could come up with. I'd have much rather gotten off and gone into the restaurant...
