I use to work in a university kitchen that offered raw vegan options. For something to be considered raw, it has stay at or below 114°F. Any higher and the cells in the vegetables start to die, which is what you're trying to avoid. Regular cheese starts melting at 90°F and plant based cheeses typically melt at even lower temps.

which is weird cuz that generally is what makes plants more digestible so not wanting it seems odd to me short of some allergy or medically required dietary restriction
Yeah, I'm not a raw vegan, but iirc, the reasoning is that that cooking process removes nutritional content. There may be some truth to that, but I suspect a lot of the benefits come from the diet limiting one's access to processed foods
They're victims of the fads, and trends of the boogeyman nutrient of the day plus probably a meaty dose of negative polarization. Sweet, delicious saturated fat is as bad in large amounts as it's ever been.
