I've always thought the trope was based on the idea of stunted development. Kids are heavily encouraged to drink milk, so films making a point of adults drinking it are indicating that there's some part of growing up that they've missed.

It's also not made for adults, it's literally baby food for mamals.
While some parts of the world have been drinking it out of necessity to survive (in colder climate) most of the world haven't developed a lactose tolerancy.
Adult milk drinkers are indeed freaks.

I'll stick to milking my almonds, even if it's a tedious job bcs their tits are very small.

It's actually really easy, you put them in a blender with water and then squeeze them in a cheesecloth so the proteins come out. And you can make crackers with the dried leftovers.

But oat milk > almond milk and for that you do unfortunately have to milk thousands of tiny little oat titties.

Yet several cultures across the world developed means to drink milk and eat cheese. The mongols' fermentation process allows them to eat and drink despite being lactose intolerant, not to mention they make kumis from mare milk
