It’s the difference between solar panels and growing trees to burn wood to make electricity.
We want the electricity now, on top of a roof instead of a large forest, without expenses other than the initial buy.

Similarly, we want to grow meat directly; like any other synthetic material. Not to wait for years while the animal grows, consuming metric tons of grass and water and occupying a large space during all that time.
