I don't think about beef Wellington enough to have ever made this connection, but it's not wrong.
Is beef Wellington perceived as a genuinely posh thing? It feels more old and crusty to me, right? Like 1960s aspirational middle class, rather than genuinely rich bougie stuff. A thing for the kind of people that thinks of sushi as "exotic".

I would say that the classic version with beef fillet, prosciutto, and morels is more of an upper-class dish, as the ingredients are expensive and it is time-consuming to prepare.

Beef Wellington made right is delicious, but it's just another recipe. I have to argue against the corn dog parallel, however, because Wellington is made from a whole piece of meat, not a sausage. It's still definitely only fancy if you are the type that finds sushi exotic.

It is wrong. One is made with a beef fillet, the other with a tube of pureed pig slaughter waste.

That's where the different socioeconomic background comes in

So was my grandma's Christmas dinner menu.
See, it's the intricacy that makes it feel outdated and aspirational to me. It carries that mid-20th century stink of aspirational shows of status based on domestic labor.

I remember the first time I had beef wellington as a kid, not knowing what was in it and thinking oh it's just a long meat pie, then being incredibly confused why the first bit of meat I got to just kept on going
Man I want some now, might have to make one

That corn dog is already from a different socioeconomic background, all my corn dogs have looked like this

Nice corn dog in my opinion, bon apetite and shit.

A corn dog is also fried where the Wellington is baked.
It's the equivalence of comparing cinnamon raisin bread to a pound cake

That's the "socio-economic class" difference.

Oh, yes, definitely.
In my home country (Germany), there is a cake called Frankfurter Kranz that definitely expresses this sentiment as well: maximum butter!
This cake was especially popular right after World War II because people wanted to show that they had enough again to not only survive, but also to lavish.

Look at Mister Moneybags up there, eating whole meat like it's Christmas and the mine didn't close!

Are we French Canadians the only ones to call corn dgs "pogo". I'm aware it's a brand but that the only word for it here.

They are both calzone, and so is pie!
