Meh, I don't like mushrooms and really don't like the black bean burgers and haven't liked any other veggie burger I've tried, but the Impossible ones I can hardly tell the difference from cow, so ... why wouldn't I choose the impossible when given the opportunity?
So, for me, I guess the answer is that if I want a burger, I want a burger, why would I go for something that doesn't taste anything like a burger?
Because there's like a difference between a beef burger and the platonic idea of a burger. Like if I say I want a burger, you're not going to fault me for buying a chicken burger are you? Even though it doesn't taste anything like a regular beef burger? Same deal with veggie burgers. Meanwhile if I order a burger that looks like beef with the expectation that it will taste like beef, I'm going to be upset when it doesn't taste like a nice beef burger but instead a rather shitty one
Also there's tons of veggie burgers out there, maybe you just gotta try some that aren't like, the weird "healthy" options that dominate the search results. Stuff like a big ol' falafel in a bun or deep fried aloo tika.
...also I don't actually like beef burgers that much
There are TONS of people who will do that exact thing. what is or is not a sandwich or burger (is a burger a type of sandwich?) for some reason is a stupidly contentious topic that people feel passionate about.
People take labels and their individual expectations of that label pretty emotionally.
