The real problem is you shouldn't have to order them "without" anything. Just causes confusion. Not so many years ago you ordered a hamburger. Then told them what you wanted on it -- cheese, tomato, onion, ketchup, mustard, mayo, whatever, in whatever combination you wanted. Then they made it that way. All for the same price, no extra charge for the add ons and customization. That was just considered the normal thing to do. Hotdogs were even better -- chili was considered a condiment, not a separate type of hotdog (the chili dog).
Not so many years ago? I'm 40 and I don't remember ever seeing this. Google old McDonald's menu and you will see that hamburger and cheeseburger have always been separate.
I once went to a McDonald's drive through and I ordered two cheeseburgers without onions. What I got was two cheeseburgers without cheese, which are hamburgers, which cost less. They were carefully wrapped in cheeseburger wrappers.
Similar story...guy orders a double cheeseburger - plain. Wants nothing on it but the cheese. Opens it up, just two patties and the roll. Goes back in and is told "well, you said you wanted it plain".
He said "If I wanted a double hamburger, wouldn't I have ordered that instead?".
$15 per hour...yeah right.

How in the WORLD is this different from asking for a hamburger but no tomatoes, please. Or no onions please. Or no mayo please.
People aren't screaming that they're being forced to pay for tomatoes, onions or mayo they don't want.
You ask that some item on the menu be made for you without one of the ingredients, (in this case cheese) you don't get a break in price.
Because in more places than not, cheese costs extra, while tomatoes do not. Ditto with many of the other condiments and fixings you listed. You can sometimes save money on these things that they typically charge you for. That is all.

Okay, but are issues such as this life-changing to the tune of millions of dollars?
It's McDonald's, LOL. Not a flubbed wedding pictures or a botched C-section.
I'm sure they'll settle. Imagine the cluster-yeah if McD's were forced legally to prorate every single addition or subtraction. It would definitely no longer be "fast" food. It would be Starbucks with grease.
I think McDonald's needs to ban those people for life for being a pain in the butt.
There is a set menu. You are allowed to modify individual items. I have to pay $.50 extra to add a tomato and lettuce to a kid's meal hamburger and that is ok. I don't see a reason to get a refund if you take the cheese off.
I typically order a cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato only. Some places will charge me extra for wanting a tomato even though I'm leaving off the onions, pickles, mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise. I've never cared. That's how their menu and registers are set up, you can't sub one item for another. I am perfectly fine paying a few extra cents to get a meal that I like.
I didn't realize this was something I was supposed to sue fast food restaurants over.
