It's about like everything else living in our society. There's already too much to be concerned about without becoming exhausted by it, survival, economic, social, spiritual, moral, etc. Being truly vegan takes a particular special effort and our society is not set up to support it and make it easy and accessible without extra effort on your part. So then it becomes a question of priorities like everything else. Hard line vegans prioritize it higher than most, moral vegetarians a bit lower, and everyone else lower still, if at all. In a perfect world where the majority of our base level needs were met, I think veganism would be a much higher priority for people, but it's just one of many things to be concerned about in this world, and so naturally it will not be on top of everyone's list.
