Palm fat instead of butter in doughs/baked goods is what annoys me a lot recently. But in that case it probably isn't just purely about cheaper goods but also about expanding the market to include vegans similar to how a lot of meat products replace haram pork with turkey.

while im glad to see vegan options the market for those is still vanishingly small

But it is large enough to sway companies considering that most non-vegan consumers don't care too much or at least don't look too closely. Yeah the potential market gains are not that big the expected losses are even smaller so companies see this as an easy win.
