The state of affairs where this is now the case in many places is fairly recent and we've not yet adapted to it. Cultured meat is likely the best way to speed up the process of switching from killing animals for food...it lets us have our meat and eat it too, so to speak.Food isn't the only driving factor at present. Agricultural production requires an unbelievably large investment in inputs.....livestock meets needs far and beyond the desire for a juicy t-bone....or we could keep doing it the way we're doing it and kill a whole hell of alot more than livestock. Cultured products are a wonderful idea..but we're likely to have the animals "lying around" for other purposes anyway. Meat-as-useful byproduct.
