I really think it’s just an issue of people seeing animals as inferior and that they don’t really care about their suffering, despite claims otherwise. It’s also much easier to overlook because it doesn’t have as much of direct impact on humanity as the oil industry or renewable energy.
Also, dietary changes are difficult to convince people of in general. Just look at the prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, etc.

I definitely think this is the main problem. It’s a struggle to get people to change their diet even when it’s directly having a negative affect on their own health. Trying to convince people to change their diet over more abstract reasons is going to be even more difficult.
