Maybe in the general case, but in this case, butter is literally made from milk, by definition.

If it wasn't made from milk, it would actually be illegal (and factually incorrect) to label it as butter.

An analogy would be if you picked up water that wasn't labeled as containing hydrogen, in a hypothetical world where hydrogen must be labeled, and you concluding that this water must be made without hydrogen.

What’s “milk” is not perfectly clear today. You can certainly coagulate the fats from more than just one liquid.

Anyways my point is that it just causes confusion in a system where, normally, you can simply trust that the labels are following the law.
