(yes, it even uses less water in water-scarce places)

To make them cheap, make it yourself.
Making oat milk is a really simple process & to make it more like commercially available products, you can add various other ingredients such as xanthan gum to bind it as well as various things for flavour such as a small amount of cinnamon.
I agree, it's not convenient to make at home, but it is possible. I think we need to remove or adjust government funding now that cow milk is no longer the only popular option.
So you have 3 choices there:
It takes 10 minutes to make a batch. Less time than will take you to walk to a shop (see here for a simple recipe/process: https://minimalistbaker.com/make-oat-milk/ )
Pay 5x the cost for plant based products - is your time really worth that much in exchange for the convenience?
Keep drinking disgusting cows milk.
I'm not vegan. I just don't drink milk and I'm certainly not advocating veganism because you don't have the ability to commit to 10 minutes to make your own oat milk so howTF are you going to make such a lifestyle change?
All I did was say how easy it is to make yourself as you complained about the cost and when you bleated about your very busy important lifestyle, laid out your options.
It's quite obvious the biggest hurdle to you making changes to your life is you so good luck with that and I hope it works out.
It's literally putting stuff in a blender and then straining. with your reasoning, why even bother baking or cooking?
No idea how long it takes to make 1L of almond milk, but if it's literally blending and straining, that's not really comparable to cooking or baking where half the enjoyment is in the process.
