It seems that in practice the issue is not keto vs vegan vs omnivore but that all of those proponents of extreme diets like full vegan or full carnivore usually measure their food intake carefully to ensure they get enough of all macros (carbs, fat, protein).

This measuring alone ensures that they get enough fats, which seem to be the main reason for brain fog in most people (combined with too much artifical sweets).

Also because of this extreme diet they completely throw all all processed food & artifical sugar/sweets.

You're close to right. The "vegan honeymoon" - as an example - is an example of why many people will feel better cutting out bad foods, however carbohydrates and sugars are some of the largest inflammatory factors from my understanding, so cutting that out will help. Following vegan or omnivore doesn't mean eating a balanced (carbs, fat, protein) diet nor anti-inflammatory, doesn't mean eating a diet specifically that is healthy for your body either - doesn't remove foods you may individually be sensitive to.
