There's more than one reason to go vegan. It's still better environmentally, for animal welfare, etc. If people need substitutes to make the transition, that's ok. You say you don't, that's ok, too. Do what works for you and let others do the same.

That's fair, but at least personally, I was initially turned off of switching to vegetarianism/veganism due to sites and recipes such as the linked one. It took another decade before I tried it again. It doesn't create a great first impression when your exposure to vegetarian and vegan cuisine consists of the same recipes you already make, but using "non-dairy milk" and "plant-based meat".

There are actually a lot of great vegetarian recipes that aren't just meat-based recipes in disguise, substituting meat/tofu/mushrooms for the meat. Fewer vegan ones, but they do exist. The best ones I've found come from cultures that are largely vegetarian or have large vegetarian sub-cultures (e.g. Indian or Ethiopian dishes).

Ethiopian and Indian are absolutely fabulous and are so much more interesting than fake chicken nuggets.
