Why is it so difficult to synthetically create cow’s milk ?

Question

I have been trying all different types of milk alternatives like oat milk, almond milk etc. But none of them taste similar to cow’s milk. I know a lot of it has to do with familiarity with the milk I’ve been drinking all my life. But I want to understand why there has not been a lab-created cow’s milk yet.

For a plant based milk is 4 times the price of regular milk. Imagine the price of synthetic milk.
