There’s no reason to invent plant milk if you don’t already consume milk. It’s a product that was designed to emulate and replace something else that already exists.
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.
It’s zootopia, most mammal drink milk, so maybe they grow up liking milk and found a way to make one using plant-based material because drinking your neighbours milk is just awkward.

Coconut milk and cream are not uncommon ingredients in southeast Asian cuisine where dairy is an uncommon ingredient.
Dairy is common ingredient in India and we still use coconut milk or cream in some recipes

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.
