Sounds like an excuse to not get started.
Cow says, "Please help me I'm scared"

Mooing is a very tonal language, humans just aren't great at it.
If we were to assume that everyone would just wait until the 15th to do all their amazon orders that they waited a week for then I would agree it's symbolic.
For many, this will be what happens, but for some, they will find an alternative. Then maybe in the future they chose that alternative too. It's about gradual progress towards better alternatives. For you, maybe finding ways to make your work less reliant on those things would help. Or if that's not possible maybe working somewhere else that doesn't make you sacrifice your values.
As an example, one person choosing to educate themselves on animal welfare might not have much effect today, or tomorrow, or even next week. But after years, even small changes can mean the elimination of suffering for dozens or hundreds of lives.
