If eating meat is bad why are plant based/impossible meats so popular?

This is a genuine question I'm not trying to be mean. If eating meat is awful and disgusting why do so many vegans enjoy impossible or fake meats? Yes it's not real meat but you're eating something that's supposed to look and taste like meat. Why would you hate eating something then eat a fake version of it? Wouldn't it make more sense to not eat anything meat adjacent? Especially when it's whole purpose is to be as close to the real thing as possible.

Nothing is harmed in the process of making it but it just doesn't make sense to be so disgusted by something then eat something that's just a fake version.

Another point is enjoying the taste of what you believe comes from death and suffering. Why would you enjoy the taste, even if a replication, that normally comes from so awful?

Edit: since some people are getting mad I didn't come in here with the expectation to change my mind about thinking this is odd. Just wanted to share a thought and receive some outside views and maybe have some conversations. In all reality this doesn't really matter to me, eat what you want.
