I think the point was that some numbskulls try to pull a "checkmate vegans" claiming that. You probably know the type, obnoxiously trying to butt in on vegan discussions and go "but if you're fine with breastfeeding, you're not really vegan", misunderstanding (or misconstruing) the motivations in the same vein as mentioned before.

It just struck me as weird. Really strange thing to add in an edit considering the rest of the post, just extremely confusing in context.

Misunderstandings happen, I don't think any malice was intended
