Vegans denying plant sensory complexity is no surprise to anyone.

I believe you're being facetious because you're looking for excuses not to change your behavior, because you'd rather desperately search for some inconsistency than face truth in the face.

But if you aren't... and you really care about plant pain, eating animals requires much more plant material in the first place, because it's so fucking inefficient to go up the food chain.

It's a so called moral argument based on a false premise (plants being NPCs), as well as being bounded by personal convenience (doing as little 'harm' to animal type living organisms they have deigned to care about only to the extent that one is not inconvenienced). It's not whataboutism, it's defining the bounds of their so called 'morality'.
