A single diner is not going to split an entree with anyone! The restaurant gets the full price of a meal out of a single diner without having to do twice the work and soil twice the dishes and silverware.

And the tip is reflective of the entire cost. I wonder if the entree splitters tip on the price of what it would be if they both had full meals? The waitstaff loses out here too.
