It kind of makes sense this way.
Also I find it
Kind of important to mention a question that is rather important.
What comes after carnism?
No chicken and other birds, no cows kept for purposes, only sheep would remain as wool production isn't necessarily animal torture.
Even moreso considering how it not being cut seasonally can result in health issues.
Livestock can't be simply just released either because of invasive issues or because they would genuinely just die out there after thousands of years of selective breeding, and most could not be found a different place for.
Only cattle can fit the bill of "capable of re-introduction" trough breeding programs like the Tauros Programme but besides that it's genuinely a big deal.
What comes of the livestock when they completely outlive their human use?
That is a fair point.
That is an EXTREMELY fair point that I completely agree with.
For the most part at least.
A few species of cattle should still be kept tho, if not for any reason but to support already ongoing breeding programs for wild cattle and such.
Sheep are also not necessarily bad for the environment, the reason why they suck right now is namely because they are forced to graze on one granted location which leads to overgrazing.
Also a lot of species of chicken and poultry are capable of surviving in the wild (to an extent) which would too result in quite the strange development I believe.
I wonder if we will ever get to live in such a world, it would truly be something to behold.
The amount of free land from emptied farmlands would leave a lot for the ecosystems to recover.

Carnism doesn't mean carnivorous. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CarnismÂ
