It’s more to do with the canning and extrusion process than in changes to the underlying product.
The processing is about how they achieve the necessary consistency. You can read comments in this thread about how to get this type of behavior (in general terms) from cheese using ingredients you (probably) have at home.

I believe we have very different ideas of what “long term” means, but cheese eventually gets moldy under normal conditions.
How can it be processed to a point it doesn’t need refrigeration long term, but its still “literally cheese though”?

If you consider peppercorn cheese or something 99% cheese, yes. If not, it’s just cheese.
