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.

It’s insane to me that some humans underwent thousands of years of evolution to be able to drink cow’s milk only for their descendants to say, “nah thank you, give me industrial sludge-tasting milk instead”.
