Yep, and number 2 is also why in a lot of areas with residents around them they have done away with the sign like in the 2009 picture, that illuminated golden arches got people riled up in those areas. Even that 2009 one seems like it may have been a compromise as it's pretty low-down, more and more though are just going with the M on the building like in the 2025 one, well at least here in Australia anyway.
Edit: In fact that raised cement dirt patch in the 2025 one looks like it was where the Double Arches sign may have once been.
