I think the reason is probably that beef is more expensive and they can't afford it.
Also, the number of people who eat beef in mixed dishes shows there's probably a huge market for Impossible Burgers. Mixing it into spicy things will disguise the flavor, though Impossible is barely distinguishable from real beef.
I actually prefer cooking with Impossible meat instead of ground beef because the texture is more consistent and it makes a beautiful fond.
I like beef ground beef for most applications, but an impossible burger is just fine at a BBQ where I'm drinking and I prefer the meat substitute for mapo tofu. Idk why, but it just works better for that dish.
