The explanation is quite disappointing: Using an alternative "might" be worse in few ways. OK, so where is the data, pros and cons comparison?

  The likely reality is that shifting to a replacement will just result in the animal product being dumped. It's likely a byproduct of meat consumption that is inexpensive to use because there is lots of meat consumption. Another 'huh?' product that contains animal derived ingredients are various dryer sheets (they don't all, but many do).

    An alternate (and growing) use of Tallow is as a feedstock for renewable diesel / sustainable aviation fuel production. Tallow is a traded commodity. It is unlikely to get dumped.
