Virtue signalling.

There may be much virtue signalling in the world, but supermarkets do not
waste an inch of shelf space on something that is not generating enough
profit. So either vegan food has more profit margin or is growing in sales
volume. TV advertising (or even in-store advertising) is one thing, but shelf
space is another.


More profit margin. They're all cashing in on the johnny come latelys

We've been veggies for years 40+. It was always a dilemma. To have more
choice required it to become more popular. Make it more popular and the
big boys want to cash in and bend the rules, cut corners and put the
specialists out of business.
