The wrap is the choice for people who look at a sandwich, and then a burrito, and then decide, "What if I take the worst aspects of both those foods and combine them?"

I might be willing to grant you the burrito, but in what goddess forsaken universe is the bread the best part of a sandwich?
Don't get me wrong- I'm fond of the fillings, too.
But would you want a Muffuletta ... wrap?
Do you eat a Cuban sandwich in a pressed ... wrap?
Do you griddle up your Croque Monsieur with the bechamel sauce on the ... wrap?
Do you layer the crawfish, or oysters, or shrimp for your po' boy in the ... wrap?
Do you fry up the wrap all nice for a Monte Cristo?
Sure, if ya basic you can stuff something in a wrap. But if you want any of the true classics that constitute the pantheon of, "OH YEAH*, IMA EAT A SANDWICH** NOW!" you're missing out on something.

**Yes, a sandwich. NOT A HOT DOG, HOT DOG, HOT DIGGITY DOG.

I'm diabetic, so yes?
Except for the po'boy anyway, which my dear departed unintelligble grandma would roll in her grave if it wasn't served in a roll like Dr. John intended
I mean, if you are unable to eat bread for medical reasons, that's one thing. But the best and most iconic sandwiches are a delicate dance between the stuffing and the paired breads.
I would never eat a Muffuletta in a wrap, or a Cuban sandwich (or medianoche) without the bread baked fresh that day.

It's true. I've had some good wraps in my day (e.g. Joseph's tomato or spinach wraps, are pretty darn tasty, for my money), but a good fresh bread is an essential component in a lot of sandwiches.
For example a BLT is one of my all-time favorites. Fresh toasted white, wheat or rye bread with a judicious smear of mayo is a completely different entity from a wrap, combining a touch of crunch with an essential light fluffiness to complement the B, L, and T. I've made BLT wraps, but they are a fairly sad substitute. Too dense.

Oh, the Bánh mì reference reminds me also of Irish breakfast baps. I had a couple of spectacular sandwiches on baps when I was in Dublin.

Traditional British Baps Recipe
Baps are soft white buns that make for excellent sandwiches. It may seem like making a batch of baps from scratch is a lot of effort to go through for a simple sandwich, but as when it comes to sandwiches, God is in the details.
