It's more enshittification. Making it cheaper and worse and telling everyone it's an upgrade.

OP is editorializing that it's for vegan ethics.

    Leather lasts a lot longer and personally I think it feels better. But the fake leathers often fall apart really quickly and can't be cared for like leather. A maintained leather item can last centuries, not that an accessory would last very long but faux leather crumbles pretty quickly
