There are multiple reasons for being vegan. Animal cruelty is an important one, but there are also significant medical benefits associated with eliminating animal proteins. Milk, butter, and cheese are still based on animal proteins. Look up "Whole Food Plant Based" if you're curious.
I've been trying to eat vegan for several years now, after being mostly vegetarian for decades. Cheese is the one thing I just haven't been able to give up entirely. It's my single favorite food and the substitutes so far all fall under "better than nothing".
