A lot of good points are being made here about this being a surprise black comedy. I loved it.

The product placement relates to the through line of the film. This guy thinks he's Agent 47, and to be fair, he is confirmed to be a multimillionaire assassin with passports and guns hidden at drops all over the world. So while he's doing his badass superspy voiceover, he's busy eating McDonald's breakfast just like any other dipshit. He solves the problem of infiltrating the billionaire's penthouse in the finale the same way any of us solve our mundane problems: by dropping another $40 for some poo poo on Amazon. His superpower is being able to sit in his car outside of someone's house for 24 hours and just wait for a good time to walk in and kill them. For all of his skills and abilities, he's still a very ordinary guy.

Somewhat related, one of the clues early on that he's full of poo poo is that he's presenting himself as this perfectly stoic figure who only listens to music to improve his mental focus and then he exclusively listens to Morrissey.
