I didn't see it discussed in the article, but I'm very excited about possibilities like Perfect Day [1]. They provide "animal-free" milk. Unlike other alternatives, this product contains actual milk proteins derived from microflora. So it has more of the texture, taste, and nutritional content you expect from milk, but animals are not involved in the manufacturing.

I'd love to see how animal-free protein products stack up against these other alternatives. I think including it in the comparison may do something to assuage the "but it's not milk, so..." objections.

Can't wait until such "real milk" replacements are broadly, cheapish-ly available, so we can get "real" vegan cheese, butter, cream and curd. IMO all current options there suck big time (but YMMV, of course) :D
Yeah I've tried a few and haven't found any to my liking. Other plant-based products like meat alternatives I've found to be OK, but dairy not so much.

Also if you read this Perfect Day, I don't eat much icecream but I'd buy vegan whey protein powder from y'all in a heartbeat.
