The way I understand it is that drinks fortified with Vit D are nearly always fortified with D2, whereas the consensus seems to be that D3 is the way to go. Not sure whether that's because D3 is less stable in drinks, or maybe there's another reason to prefer D2 there?

According to this article D3 is never vegan: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/vitamin-d2-vs-d3#TOC_TI...

I believe “being vegan” is the point of most milk substitutes.

Fair point, but D3 can also be derived from lichen, which is vegan.

Cow's milk is also commonly fortified with D2. I'm guessing the vegan argument likely isn't the only reason.
