To answer to OB. From what I understand they make these "meats" for people who eat meat so that they eat less meat by switching to that plant-based meat and lower all the negative stuff that comes from excessive eating farm-grown meat.
But they also exist because there is a strong meat culture. For instance, people want to buy a hot dog on the street so they get a vegan one. Or they want to invite people for barbecue so they get plant-based stakes. They want to go with friends to a fast food joint so they go to the vegan one.
Also, OB presumes vegans can't stand the taste of meat, but that is not true. Vegans have many reasons for not eating meat. They may even like eating meat but don't want to because of health issues, or they feel sorry for animals in cages, etc.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
