At last we have an answer from a poster - who is a bona fide Veggie may I add which makes complete sense - FAMILIARITY
that’s it!!!
Vegans or Veggies eat plant based food which is purposely made to look like meat products purely based on FAMILIARITY!!

Thank you BLUEMATT or from now on you’ll always be in my eyes “The Wise Old Man From The Himalayas’’.

I salute you sir 😃👍
