They have a high and unique protein composition making them a nearly perfect food. Sesame seeds contain extraordinary quantities of methionine and tryptophan, amino acids missing from most other vegetable protein sources that are important for healthy liver and kidneys and the utilization of B-complex vitamins. Sesame seeds also contain calcium, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin B and iron. Plus, sesame seeds contain no cholesterol.
Sesame seeds add a unique, nutty flavor with a crunchy sensation to a variety of foods. Their small size and texture make sesame seeds the best choice for topping breads, breadsticks and buns. A hamburger just isn't a hamburger without a sesame seed bun!

It's marketing. For a tiny fraction of a cent, bakers and fast food sandwich places can make a cheap product look better by sprinkling a few sesame seeds on the product without altering the taste.

I hate the taste of sesame seeds. I prefer buns without them.

BECAUSE:
"Two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun"
just wouldn't sound the same without the "sesame seed" part, it would screw up the rhythm.

They taste good and give the buns a really nice flavour and smell when toasted.

The bread companies are in cahoots with the dental floss companies. They put the seeds on their buns so you have to use more floss to get them out of your teeth. :D

For the same reasons poppy seeds are on hot dog buns!

partly decoration but they do add a little flavor to the bun.

Their purpose is to get stuck between your teeth and thereby increase toothpick sales.
