You're 100% right but these should be called vegan if thats the case
That's a synonym for plant-based.
Vegan is a loaded term for a lot of people. They recoil in horror at the thought of something being "vegan". But "plant-based" isn't anywhere near as vile, for those people.
Actually no "Plant-based" is a meaningless phrase that doesn't actually denote whether a food product contains animal products or not
I read the article and that’s not what it says. It’s actually about meat and dairy industries trying to stop plant-based products using terms like “mayo” or “burger”.
Plant-based means plant-based, as far as I can see.
“manufacturers should take care to clearly label their products as plant-based to the extent they are offered as an alternative to an historically animal-derived product.”
