I think there are a few things that are considered for grading, but it seems the #1 thing is the intramuscular fat. So my question is can’t you make the fat content anything you want in ground meat, and isn’t the higher fat content usually the cheapest?  What is a prime hamburger patty offering?

Sales gimmick. Your best hamburgers will come from the regular old 80/20 split.
