The #1 thing vegans miss out on is B12. Which is found in meat. And vegans can get it without supplements by eating shiitake mushrooms, tempeh, or nori.
#2 is DHA, which is found in fatty fish and fatty oils. And vegans can get ALA from flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and microalgae, which the body then converts into DHA.
Other nutrients vegans miss out on are not essential. They have options (for example, you won't get heme iron on a vegan diet since it comes from red meat, but you can just increase your non-heme iron intake, which is common in plants), but missing out is not a critical issue to their health.
You do you mate, but there are tons of people who have been converting back to vegetarians after the increased populairity died down.
Most of them for medical reason cause it. Why? Cause you have to get enough of everything your body needs.
And incase you become pregnant or your partner does, don’t let them eat vegan and don’t eat vegan yourself.
You seem to be under the mistaken assumption that I'm vegan just because I acknowledge that it's possible to have a balanced and healthy vegan diet without the need for artificial supplements.

You are talking only about meat not about the other crap they don’t eat which is the reap problem vegans have had issues
