Wait till you try camel milk ice cream!
I think there are environmental reasons
but ignoring that
Have you made your own oat milk - shop muck is never the same.
The thread is about keeping milk fresh, or having fresh milk.
Oat milk fits the bill as you can make it fresh without the need for refridgeration. I confess we don't use it to make bread and butter pudding (it is winter here) we use long life cream (on the boat) but if you have cereal on passage - you could make wheat milk, or if you make your own muesli (no artificial ingredients) oat milk- what's not to like?
Rolled oats, chopped Australia almonds, fresh mango, bananas, dried Australian apricots - soak over night in oat milk - don't tell me you cannot be tempted.
Now if you had a pampered upbringing - tough - you don't know what you missed and maybe you are a lost cause.
Much depends on how you use the milk (and whether you have a reasonable Scots upbringing - and maybe a 21st century palate).
Much of the time on a long passage is uneventful, periods of pure terror are few and far between if you listen to weather forecasts. Baking your own bread, making milk, mixing up the muesli, making your own yogurt - all fill the time - usefully - and being cholesterol free the oat or wheat milk helps reduce your need for statins (chemicals).
Oats - environmentally friendly, reduces cholesterol, grows in poor soils, no issues with animal welfare (nor seahorses)........ etc etc
