as a kippa wearing orthodox jew(tm). who while working in the USA had to get used to telling managers how he had to leave early on fridays in the winter months, I have zero problem with this. At the end of the day, there's little reason to accommodate orthodox jews and not want to accommodate lactose intolerant individuals as well and if one can kill two birds with one stone, the better. (though in the US it seems that the vast majority of retail ice cream is kosher supervised, and is part of the reason oreos are kosher supervised, as nabisco wanted to get them in as a mixin for ice creams, though then can get into more complicated milk based issues which are beyond scope). as an aside, I find non dairy kosher ice cream to be meh, dairy kosher ice cream is significantly better.
