Why do so few restaurants serve real butter with bread these days?

This has been bugging me for a while! So many places are giving margarine or whipped spreads instead of actual butter with the bread basket. Is it just cheaper for them, or am I missing some trend here? Real butter just hits different, you know? Anyone else feel the same?

Maybe because they earn less serving real butter because it is more expensive. I am not sure about this tho
