Veganism is a philosophy to you, but maybe not to others.
What genuine difference does it make to you if someone goes 100% vegan as a dietary choice? Your personal goal is still fulfilled by them no longer eating meat, regardless of whether they agree with you or not philosophically.
It’s about all animal products. Leather shoes are not vegan, medicine with gelatin is not vegan, cleaning products might not be vegan. Veganism is about animal liberation and not about the vegans. That’s where the focus should be. “What genuine difference does it make to you” is the wrong question, it doesn’t matter what difference it does to the vegan, it’s about what difference it does to the animal getting a bolt rammed through its skull.
