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.
