At least for the vegan part today it's the other way round
It's kind of normal to have vegan options on a menu but when you go out with someone and order that option everyone asks you about that and wants you to explain why you ordered that
I feel you. Nowadays people just don't want to hear a no. Oneday I was out with some people I knew after work and everyone except me ordered a beer but I just didn't want one and ordered an ice tea. But then they offered me one and I had to say again that I don't feel like it on that day.
On an other day my brass band got invited to play on a neighborhood festival (I don't know if that word exists but its like a big meet with all the families in a neighborhood). And because I came with my motorcycle and in switzerland there's a rule that you can't drink until you drive 2 years (0.0‰) I declined all offers for a beer. But there was this dad I knew from my childhood who asked like every five minutes why I don't want a beer and I had to explain it every time.
Just accept a no. Don't ask a second time or just offer something. You order me a beer just that I can't decline? Not with me but hey, you have another for you.
