Wrong. Minced meat has much more surface area, goes through more processing and can contain several cuts of meat, all of which makes it at much bigger risk of contamination.
I love a medium rare steak but I would never eat pink minced beef unless it was from a very reputable restaurant that made a point of saying exactly what it was, how it was prepared and where it came from.
Made fresh. I.e. it was minced on site and used on the same day if not within a few hours.
If they are making a point of deliberately serving less than thoroughly cooked burgers then it's likely the above applies. Or they could have just decided to run the risk of poisoning their customers just for the fun of it.
