Just for the sake of livening the graveyard up a bit ...
1. More exploitation is wrong but more priveledge/deprivation is wrong also?
2. The cost of less animal exploitation is an increase in the priveledge/deprivation of seeing live animals?
3. Access, or lack of access, to anything we do not
want is neither priveledge nor deprivation?
So ...
To have abolition with creating priviledge/deprivation means that any want/desire to see or interact or have access to animals needs to be eliminated?

Dang!
I have started creating a totaly off topic line of conversation here, haven't I?
Getting to see other people naked is a "privilege" too, if they aren't showing, you ain't seeing. Or would you argue that your "right" to see others naked means you can just rip their clothes off at will? Why would your "right" to see other people naked trumps their right of self-determination? Why would it be different for non-human animals about similar things, other than some self-proclaimed superiority over them?
You're in a mindset where using animals is the default and a given "right". Abolitionist oppose using animals and if that means that there will be no more black and white cows because we stopped breeding them and they don't procreate in the wild then that be it.
So I guess...
3. Access, or lack of access, to anything we do not want are not entitled to is neither privilege nor deprivation?.
There are many traditional human cultures disappearing for example the aboriginals in Australia, the Inuit in the north, the native Americans... we can document their culture and preserve knowledge about them, but I have yet to hear someone suggest to put them in a zoo or start breeding them for preservation. But somehow doing that with non-human animals is just normal, and going to see them a "right".

You can still feed the ducks in the park.
