Veganism is not a diet or set of practices but an ethical principle. "Vegan except cheese" nonsense legitimises exploitation for the sake of "harm reduction", keeping the status quo of animal objectification. This nonsense directly comes from "Vegan" Outreach CEO Matt Ball who in turn got it from Peter Singer, who says that it's fine to use animals every once in a while, if you "so good" the rest of the time. This frames non exploitation as virtue.
