May as well buy burgers in the US, since you already paid for most of it through taxes!

Here it's not just that.
The raw resources and production costs of oat milk is like, €0.30 per 2 liter.
They sell it at €2.40.
Healthy is capitalism here.
I believe they also put a lot of resources into research
Oat milk is just oats blended in water. The research is minimal. The marketing is where they put most of their money.
Jokes on them, I’ll still only refer to it as oatmeal
I think there is a huge difference in the thing you are describing and e.g the oatly barista.
There are a lot of oat milks that taste very different or not at all. To get the right taste and consistency, you need some research.
You're the only one talking about niche/specialty products though. Not denying that those products require extensive research, but I doubt that those products alone are responsible for the considerable markup on the typical alternative milk products, which truly are closer to "oats blended in water", and probably make up a majority of sales.
Plus vegans will pay anything in order to imagine themselves as being better than meat eaters.
I don't think this is the case. Vegans are likely to spend less money on food.
Doesn't production of not milk use a ton of water and have am environmental impact
One of the trends I have noticed with vegan users online is that they neglect to mention the environmental impacts of their own alternative products
