Once upon a time there were two types of Dairy Queens. Some were just ice cream, but the ones called “Dairy Queen Braizer” sold hot food too. Eventually they all sold hot food.
The question “why” inherently requires reasoning as a response, though. If the answer had been, “DQs used to only serve ice cream, but the founder wanted to…” blah blah blah, that would be an answer.

Thanks for the actual answer!
I mean, it’s not an actual answer. It’s just a historic fact.
The actual answer is that diversifying your product offerings gets you more business.
Historic facts can be an answer.
But it’s not the answer to your question. The answer to your question is business/financially related.
Not necessarily. It could be “Why does Dairy Queen sell food (unsaid part: when I expect it to only sell ice cream?”)
A: because it used to only sell ice cream in the past.
That’s not an answer to why, though. Only selling something in the past doesn’t explain why they do it now. Making more money is the real explanation.
Why can just mean explain something that is unexpected. Which you did with the history lesson. It doesn’t have to answer causality.
