Wtf else could it possibly mean dude? I’m not even vegan but that’s exactly what I’d expect. Plant based is a meaningless term if you can throw animal parts in and still call it plant based.
That’s like saying a burger is plant based since the patty and cheese are the only non-plant based parts. That’s ridiculous and just not what the word plant-based means.
That’s because vegan rules are ridiculously draconian. Vegan or not, all beer and wine is plant-based.
No, some are made by fining with animal products like isinglass (fish based) or gelatin (usually pig based)
Plant based ≠ 100% plant matter. Your absolutism is ridiculous and reminiscent of racist “one drop” policies.

No it isn’t. Plant-based means based on plants, which a beer is and a burger isn’t.
Movies and TV shows can be based on a true story without being documentaries,. It’s the same thing with plant-based food that isn’t 100% vegan.
Language is interesting in this way. Same words in different contexts mean different things.
“Based on true events” = “Contains traces of what actually happened”
“Plant based” = “Does not contain animal products but can contain mushrooms even though they are not plants”
Although there are beers with lactose added (eg milkshake ipas have it for texture and taste), but those are an exception of course.
And still plant based. The lactose is an added ingredient, not one of the things that the whole thing is based on.
I suppose with this logic cheap sausage is also plant-based
No. Sausage consists mainly of meat byproducts, not plants.
