This seems pretty close to an universal claim, that high cognitive effort is not possible under veganism (or at least it’s an open question) for everyone. It’s not exactly saying that people don’t find it easy to be vegan, but that the people who are are deluded.
I think that post is better described as a question and personal anecdote, not a universal claim. That’s partially because the author does seem to be genuinely wondering, genuinely want data, and genuinely valuing animals; it would be easy for a similar post to look very disingenuous to me.
Meanwhile I count 2 comments dismissing anecdotes and personal experience, even when applied personally.

Yeah, that’s fair. It is about performance, not effort, but does seem closer to a universal claim.
