I mean, there are companies making ridiculously expensive meat

Ahh... so that is their target group. Then it makes sense, thank you.

That's Impossible Burgers claim to fame. I've had vegetable birgers like
the black bean varieties and they aren't bad but they're not pretending to
be meat and they aren't expensive. Somehow a vegan eating something that
looks like a bloody hamburger reminds me of Jews chowing down on faux
bacon.

Yes! I don't think I ever had faux bacon. My father, who for a time in his life travelled a lot in arabia, had faux bacon and said it was disgusting.
Once, he stayed at a hotel that actually had bacon!! But he couldn't find it. So he asked in the restaurant, and a guy said "follow me, I will show you". They were walking for a loooooong time and in a very empty, secluded and roped off corner there was a small tray with bacon. It wasn't good, but at least it was there.
But arabians can change! He worked with a swedish/arabian guy who was a homo. He was very unhappy all his life, until he moved to sweden where his mother was from. There he discovered his homoness and his love of bacon, and his quality of life improved enormously. He was a very nice guy and pleasant to work with.
