Because nothing is ever being invented if not to replace something?

That argument is just wrong. If it was true there'd be exactly one drink and one food. Because we'd only invent something new if it was to replace the existing thing.

Yes, this argument is wrong. Which is why i wasn't making it.

Plant milk, specifically, is something that you woudln't think to invent unless you're trying to replace cow milk.
