Some of them are sold as " drink", though these seem to contain quite a bit more sugar than milk alternatives branded as " milk".

    Those are primarily just using the same the packing as they due to places that prohibit using the term "milk". The dairy industry has lobbied quite hard for those bans across the world at all levels of government. Under the belief that "oat drink" or the like sounds less appealing that "oat milk"

    They have a lot of money but I doubt they'll be able to change this. It'd have to happen in different countries and imagine how idiotic this would look. Trying to ban people from using certain words, a global crusade against oat milk. Just crazy.

    The goal isn't necessarily to change how people speak (though they would if they could), but more to make the product name on the stores shelves look less appealing to reduce sales

    I don't think it'd work since so many have already discovered the miracle of oat milk but I guess large companies will try anything just because they can.
