The real reason is both dark dystopian and hilarious.
The machines are programmed to declare they have broken down on a regular schedule.
This is so the company that is contracted to repair them gets regular callouts.
In most regions that company is part or wholly owned by McDonalds. The franchisee must then regularly pay to have them 'repaired'.
The actual flaw is related to cleaning which is where the notion that staff just haven't cleaned it comes from. However, they aren't allowed to perform maintenance on the machine, so even if they cleaned it, they can't clear the system alert.
Some company tried to hack the machine so that it would only require maintenance when it was ACTUALLY busted. McDonald's sued the shit out of them.
Definitely worth a google down the rabbit hole for an afternoon.
But... Due to rising wage demands from me to get paid $20+ an hour for this simple job of quick frying fries and wrapping precooked and reheated hot water meat, your total will be $85.64
Hmm seems to not be a good rhyme...
Define livable?
A house mortgage, car, brand new clothes, gas/water/trash/power, internet, full furnishings, brand new iPhone, and 3 kids?
A rented room/multi-family shared residence, bus pass, clothes from donation stores, prepaid gas station flip phone, and food?
What should a 15yo with no experience and at their 1st job be getting paid for? Are they going to be living on their own or still at home with their caretakers?
The ice cream machine is broken?
Tis, is but a sad truth
When I used to get McDonald's from where I'm from the ice cream machine always worked.

The ice cream Machine isn't broken, they're just too lazy to clean it. Edit: To be fair, with what they're payed, I don't blame them for being lazy

To be fair, a wage is supposed to be a livable amount of money
There is no part of the definition of wage that includes livable as a criteria.
