a bubba burger (grocery store frozen burger) has 90mg sodium (https://bubbafoods.com/nutrition/bubba-angus-beef-2lb/)
a beyond burger has 310mg https://www.beyondmeat.com/en-US/products/the-beyond-burger
They are lower in fat and total calories but they are obviously more processed = salt. Even a mcdonalds burger patty (without the bun) has less salt.
McDonalds quarter pounder has less salt per oz, but the Big Mac / basic burger patties have more salt per oz or per protein gram.

thanks for the link; here are the numbers:
Basic burger without any other ingredients has 90 calories and 160mg sodium.
The quarter pounder patty alone has 220 calories and 210mg of sodium.
Big mac patty (includes "flavoring") has 190 calories and 310mg sodium.
Beyond patty is 230 calories with 310mg sodium.
Not everyone cares about processing or salt. And like the OP said it's not a comparison to a bean burger that matters, they weren't going to chose that anyway, it's the comparison to real meat
it was the first thing he called out as being healthier, which was factually incorrect.
bubba burgers are real meat, not bean burgers
