It's not that you can't eat them, statistically you're not ultra likely to get sick - but the chance is there, and no one can guess how sick you'd get.

They have small disclaimers at the bottom of their menus making it so you can't hold them responsible for your ordering undercooked meat or eggs.

The customer is always right in matters of taste, so restauranteurs just make sure the customer can't sue for any potential food poisoning they get.

After looking it up, beef/other meat mince can refer to meat that has been passed through a grinder.

This product is distinguished from ground meat in the same jurisdictions by the fact that mince cannot be comprised of anything other than the cut of meat that was put into the grinder. Ground meat, on the other hand, can have additional fat or ice/water added to adjust the texture.

(Naturally mince can still refer to very finely chopped meat as well, but in many places it refers to the unadulterated ground cuts.)

The main way you can keep beef pink through the cooking process is by inhibiting the Maillard reaction, which you can technically do through members of the allium family.

But kneading onion pieces into a burger produces a meatloaf, so... Yes, cook the burger.
