I mean we can also make long lasting clothes out of natural fibers without hurting animals.

Not everywhere. Many places its much more sustainable to make clothes from the animals you are eating and it makes sure that you aren't wasting any of the life you've taken that you need to survive.
Wool is one of those natural fibers that can be harvested without harming the animal. Even if you end up eating the goat/sheep, it can provide a few coats of wool before hand.
Yes this is true but a lot of places can't mantain a sheep herd, because it is too cold or to dry for grasses and food for the sheep
I'm privileged enough to have a choice in that regard, haven't eaten any animals in months. Sometimes I'm a naughty boi and eat some chicken tho.
isnt there this mushroom based fakeleather stuffthingie?

ok the animation is kinda gross... if you find fungi gross, but i think these are just fun little guys also, i guess its more of a thing in the future when there is more competition in the market of mycelium based textiles or whatever and prices arent that crazy..
Nice example of a false equivalency...
