I have no problem with the McRib as it is what it is, but I don't think I have ever equated it as being on par with rib tips or a pulled pork sandwich. It is akin to thinking you want pizza and then buying tacos; the similarity between the two things (bbq and McRib) is purely superficial.
I agree somewhat but if the McRib had to be grouped with something it would be BBQ or ribs.
I would say it is like buying a Uno Chicago style pizza from a gas station (McRib) and a pizza from Lou Malnati's (Ribs). They are so different that it is like comparing apples to oranges but are usually grouped together anyway.
