After five years on a ketogenic diet (low carb, higher fat) I now eat mostly fatty meat and eggs, and little else. I have never felt better or been in better health.

This is anecdote, but a growing number of people are discovering the same thing. Beef is great food. It will not go away.

The Beyond Burger only contains 3g of carbs, making it perfectly acceptable for a Ketogenic diet, as far as I understand it. The Impossible burger contains more, at 9g, but that's easy to fit into most carb allowences of Keto (not many go for <10g/day).

Even with a goal of 0g of carbs per day there's a lot of room on the plate for above-ground vegetables and natural oils.

Beef is an okay food, but there's lots of alternatives that seem to outperform it for many metrics.

There's a lot more to achieving good health than macronutrient ratios.

The plant-alternatives both 1) lack the abundant, bioavailable nutrients found in animal products and 2) include a lot of highly-processed and inflammatory ingredients like seed oils.

And I think you're underselling beef by calling it an "okay" food. The meat we get from cows and other ruminants (and particularly organ meats like liver) are among THE most nutrient-dense and bioavilable foods available to humans.
