Maybe a better case study would be figs since people actually eat those. From what I'm seeing in search results there is some difference of opinion, but maybe the prevailing opinion is that figs are fine for vegans because they are not intentionally exploitative or cruel to animals.

I'm not vegan but I won't eat figs because of what you're touching on here. (I just find it gross.)

Look up cochineal and you'll stop eating lots of red/pink food coloring as well.
