On one of the podcasts I listen to (The Morning Stream), one of the co-hosts (Brian) has been on Weight Watchers for I think all of this year. One thing he has noted is that, assuming all else is equal (bun, toppings, etc.), an Impossible or Beyond burger costs many more 'points' than a regular beef burger. (One of the goals being to stay below a particular points limit each day.) That surprised me, until he explained that the plant-based burger is high in carbohydrates, which contributes to its high points value.
So I disagree that this is the end of an industry. I think it's the beginning of change in an industry, but not its end.
