I can't really judge. Eat my burgers whole but eat popcorn with chopsticks and I have my own knife, fork, soup spoon and Coffee cup that only I'm allowed to use. We all have some level of crazy.
The trick to eating a loaded burger cut in half, is never try to lay it down and use a napkin. No matter how disgusting, one must be committed till it's gone.
And it's Europeans who typically cut burgers with a knife. Our Danish exchange student did that. In public. In a restaurant.
I have small hands. There is only so big of a burger I can handle uncut before I need to cut it in half...with whatever sharp knife the restaurant provides. Not an issue at home, since I never buy buns too big to handle easily. When I encounter a mega-burger, I have a plan of attack. I ask the server to bring out a sandwich pick or skewer with my sandwich. I spear that baby about 1/3 of the way from the edge, place my fingers along the top of the larger section, then cut in half. The half with the pick gets flipped on the cut edge. That way the juices pretty much stay inside and, more importantly, don't leak into the bottom bun, making it soggy. The only time I would resort to cutting up and eating with a fork would be if the entire sandwich starts falling apart in my hands.
I don't know how I've lived so long without this essential item!
