In the same way that not everyone is a competent cook, not all vegans are competent cooks. I don't find it too surprising that someone might naively think "banana in this custard would be nice" without grasping that the egg is structurally important for the dish rather than for flavor or protein.
Mashed banana is a good substitute for egg in lots of baking recipe, like cakes and such, but for custard it wouldn't work at all, cornflour is probably what they want to use, or something along those lines. A thickening agent.
