For lab grown meat, cost. Getting them to look and taste close enough to the real thing is still crazy expensive, and the processes aren’t mass producible yet.

For insects, they turn out to not actually be that much more efficient than chickens at turning plants into edible protein, and people like eating chickens way more than crickets.
