I've actually read 3 different articles on this and it came off to me as a compromise and/or suggestion than a forced issue. The issue was that they didn't want to have both non-Kosher and Kosher stores of the same name in the city. If all the McDonalds in the city were Kosher then there wouldn't be an issue. The suggested name difference was just to have a noticeable difference between the two types.
