vegan leather?

OK, I try to be as green as possible, I do, but I just don't get vegan leather aka PLEATHER!  I am not against plether by any means, don't get me wrong.  As long as it looks real, I am all for it, I just don't get this whole vegan leather craze.  Call it what it is and stop trying to be fancy.  It's polyurathane!!!  Vegan leather is just another word for pleather, so don't be fooled into thinking it's something better and don't pay more than what it's worth.
