I think they’re confusing the fact that faux fur is less environmentally friendly than real fur. Real fur can biodegrade, faux fur is plastic. It’s the “vegan leather” debate.

I'm not confusing anything I added a link, there was a news story years ago exposing fashion brands not labeling real fur (implying it's synthetic because real fur must be labeled) or labeling it synthetic when it was real fur.
