Donuts are grain + sugar + seed oils for the most part, so vegans aren't at much of a disadvantage relative to ice cream.
Relatively good vegan ice cream usually has a coconut milk base.

You don't necessarily - gluten makes it stick together well enough. If we're talking cake donuts, apple sauce is sometimes used in vegan recipes as a (weak) egg replacement. Beyond apple sauce there are a lot of plant based gums/emulsifiers that are often used in vegan foods. (I was regretfully a vegan for a couple years.)

Not saying you should adopt to veganism once again but clearly there's a misconception.
To tell you the truth, India has the highest % of vegan and vegetarian people.1
However the obesity rates in India are far lesser in comparison to that in USA. India had 8.02% of obesity and US had 45.58% till 2022.2
