I have tried the Imposible Burger and it sold me on the taste. It does not matter to me that real meat has different nutrients, The question is if you already plan to eat a veggie burger, do you want to experience the taste and feel of the meat it is pretending to be? The answer is yes, and you also care if it will harm you, so we do tests. If it is all plant based it will be OK.
The people at Impossible Foods want to introduce a product that will satisfy people who for their own reasons want to cut back on red meat. This is a big consumer base right now.
And as for the traditional veggie burger, I have never found one that did not remind me of eating granola and tofu. If I want the meat taste, these new roducts have cracked the code.
” as for the traditional veggie burger, I have never found one that did not remind me of eating granola and tofu.”
exactly what they should taste like.

I am sure they thought of that, but the real reason is 100% profit driven.
and of course it could really be something like this:

I suspect eventually they will slip in fake meat when people think they are getting real meat.
You like lab grown meat huh?
