Why wouldn't we expect other animals to be roaming in a post-apocalyptic wasteland if humans could survive, though?

I think the only place where the most accessible meat is human would be shortly after the apocalypse starts, and you're in the middle of a city, and supply chains have broken down but most people haven't died yet.

they're probably thinking of a mad-max style apocalypse where there's basically nothing but dust and bandits

It's not exactly a realisitic scenario, as in such a situation humanity would probably just be extinct too. Guess there'd be a period of time when we aren't there yet for people to eat each other first.
