Also, while you link does say, "The best temperature for brewing coffee is
between 195 F and 205 F." it doesn't say it should be served at that
temperature. If I cook a prime rib at 375 F I don't plan to serve it at
that temperature.

Exactly. NOBODY can drink coffee at 180 degrees. Few could drink it at
140.

Right. Most McDonalds are in towns or cities. I don't drive and drink
coffee when in high traffic and congested areas. Even where I live, in
a fairly rural area, most McDonalds are located such that I must drive
5-10 minutes before I'm in an area safe enough to drive my coffee while
driving. By then the coffee is easily sipped and soon after can be
gulped, and this is without adding cream or sugar which cool the coffee.
If I was served coffee at 120 degrees, it would be barely above body
temperature 10 minutes later and that would not make me a happy camper.
