Imagine you go to an unfamiliar grocery store and get some milk. When you get home and try to make coffee, the milk looks and smells weird. You check the label, and find out you accidentally bought yak milk. It is in every sense of the word milk, it just came out of a yak. If you’re a reasonable person, you’ll learn your lesson to check what the milk comes from before buying it.
Yak milk or soy milk doesn’t matter in my view. If you wanted cow milk, look for the word cow. If it’s not there, don’t assume it’s cow milk.
Imagine going into a store and being in a hurry to buy milk and finding out it’s oat milk at home and not the almond milk you wanted if everything is labeled “Malk”…Any nut or grain milk is already labeled as to what it is in big bold letters because there are different kinds. Redundant labeling is stupid at that point.
And while I’ve not had yak milk, I have had sheep and goat milks, they are fine to drink. And while I’m all for pasteurized milk for food safety reasons, I grew up on a dirt poor dairy farm. And we drank raw milk every day because we had free fresh milk all the time. I can tell you that it smells and tastes nothing like the pasteurized 1% or 2% milk that gets sold in the grocery store. I guarantee you would turn your nose up and run away.
Why would I ever be in a such a hurry to buy milk that I can’t check what kind it is? I don’t need milk to live. I only use milk in fun recipes, not everyday staples.

Well don’t that make you special.
