Veganism as commonly practiced is something that’s about personal identity and there’s an desire for purity. If there’s no reason to eat meat then the part about personal identity might get weaker and thus the desire for purity might also get lower.
And veganism requires both. So it reduces the cost of veganism.
Are you just trying to argue that it doesn’t reduce the cost of going vegan *if you’re already vegetarian*? That may be true, but doesn’t contradict the point that the overall cost of veganism would go down.
Why do you believe that the vegan movement will rise and not a kind of vegetarianism?
Wouldn’t you expect both to rise?

ChristianKI is right: Murderless meat may make vegetarianism more palatable to meat-eaters, but it’s irrelevant to veganism.
I don’t think this is true. Murderless meat reduces the costs of being vegan or vegetarian. I agree that ChristianKI has a point though.
It reduces the cost of not eating meat, but not the cost of not eating dairy and eggs.
