Plant milk is a thing. IMO. (But I kinda understand if people disagree.) There is no such thing as plant meat or plant egg or plant cheese, of course but milk doesn’t have that. It is used for plant things like the white liquid coming out of several species, it’s called milk I think, it definitely does in Hungarian but I think it’s the same in English? Of course, the white drink happens differently but due to milk already being a plant thing, it doesn’t bother me at all. Vegan cheese, that does. It’s an oxymoron, there is NO such thing. Though I get it, they need to call it something. But still, it isn’t that.
Hungarian vegans got creative and sometimes use it with horrible spelling (for both milk and cheese, we have a certain sound in it and that has 2 different letters for it, they sound the same but mixing them makes people like me upset) and that breaks my Hungarian language loving heart… It’s hard to satisfy me I am aware.
But of course, we have plenty of terms where the whole thing has little to do with the last word… So maybe I shouldn’t be like this but I am. But this is just some tiny thing. I only HATE when vegan stuff is deceptive for the not very careful experienced customer. That’s nasty.
And I use certain terms in a wide sense myself but they are a food item which doesn’t actually mean them done in a very specific way… ALL cheeses are animal and all meatballs are from meat but it’s not so clear for some other items.
And I personally can’t do much with things called “fake”. Most of them aren’t fake to me at all as the original isn’t about the “real” thing. I don’t know “fake sugars”. They are very real sweeteners, some even exist in nature… I understand people come from a sugary diet and they try to replace it but my attitude is still very different. I am very well aware that my (not really used anymore but I had my sweet past) sweeteners are nothing like sugar, even the taste is very off and I like that. They are merely things to sweeten things, I couldn’t care less if sugar was there first, it doesn’t make the better option any less real.
I talked about these things before. I never understood what’s wrong with substitutes either as long as it worked for the one in question. In my case, they almost never emulated anything (carbs can’t be emulated if you ask me, the result always will be very different, maybe with very tiny exceptions), they were there by their own, not at all fake right.
It’s WAY easier than buying them, after all, maybe coconut milk that is available but as I remember, not so great when not homemade (now I dislike homemade coconut milk too but I really loved mine once and made it nearly every day). Some were pretty vile like sesame milk 
But I had to try them. I kind of liked poppy seed milk but I very much like poppy seed too. I never tried to make walnut milk (or I don’t remember it), I don’t know why, walnut is my fav nut, maybe pecan is better but that’s exotic and expensive and I only tried it once.
