Because it makes things feel more casual
As someone who's kind of a clean freak, I don't eat stuff at all when I'm gaming. And more often than not, I've seen the "eating greasy things while gaming" thing portrayed as a trope or satire rather than a legitimate thing.

isn’t this more common than you think? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/189706-nintendo-switch/80387246

Are you seriously using a GameFAQs thread as proof that this is a common thing that happens?
Same way that eating something while you're watching TV or a movie makes it more casual.

Well either way, some people just don't care if they get their stuff dirty by eating while they're playing games and other people, you know, clean their stuff.
Like I don't make a habit of it, but I'll sometimes snack on some chips or something while I'm playing games on my laptop but I clean my keyboard once a week by spraying it with some compressed air to get out any crumbs that may have fallen in it and wiping it with a microfiber cloth. And once a month, I do a full cleaning of the keyboard, screen, remove the bottom cover to spray out any dust in the fans, etc.

You shouldn't eat greasy food while using any electronics. That can't be good for the system.

https://discord.gg/mariobaseball people in this discord tell me that they often eat greasy things because they are hungry and they say they are ok doing it to their friends controllers so I figured I could ask

i mean, the equipment gets dirty regardless of what you do. your hands aren't perfectly clean, after all. greasy foods are not the only things that can get them dirty, too, and arguably what's worse is drinking something around equipment since liquid damage is much harder to repair than some spare bread crumbs getting stuck between keys in a keyboard.
also, if you're gaming a lot during the day, especially if you're doing it for a job, it's either you eat around the equipment or you don't eat for several hours, and the latter is a preferable option. you could argue you could take "snack breaks", but when you're doing something like a speedrun that's several hours long, you don't have the time to do that.
