Interesting; have you tried different soy milks? Some use seaweed extract which might give such an aftertaste (though I've never noticed).

Milk is subsidised in many markets, either directly or indirectly; but the demand side makes a big difference too. Also, things are often priced to what people will pay...

Yes, I tried a few.

It was like a negative aha-moment, a taste that was always there but I never noticed it, when it finally clicked, and I found out it was a fishy taste soy milk pretty much died for me.

Have you ever tried freshly made soy milk (i.e. made the same day from just soy beans and water in the traditional way) ?

You are describing a placebo. You tricked yourself into thinking it's fish (if anything it's algae/carageenan) and that you don't like fish (algae). You can train yourself back and enjoy the benefits of soy milk.
