Oil, but yea meat does make it way easier to utilize. I have one pan I only cook fish in, and it's basically just oil and fish all the time. Nothing else.
You're not wrong though, cast iron was definitely created with meat eaters in mind. But the majority of people are meat eaters, vegans are not a huge portion of the population...nor are people who have to much iron in their blood lol
