Different people like different foods. I suspect their choice for “the one product that if I keep eating, will allow me to be otherwise vegan” would be much more broadly distributed.
So this seems both like it takes extra effort and might miss a lot of people, and on the other hand the marginal gain from it is not that big.
Extremely unfortunately, the idea that people’s choices of animals is static, or that consumption within meat or eggs is fixed, is very much not true.

By the way, the average diet, has gotten worse, in terms of meat consumption (this probably includes the number of vegetarians or vegans).
Note that this comes from the USDA, which is definitely not EA or animal welfare aligned.
