I mean… that’s kinda a sliding scale. You can get coconut milk by just squeezing it out of coconut flesh, I’ve seen it done before. Saying coconuts don’t produce milk is kinda like saying oranges don’t produce juice.
I had to look this up. I found a video of some guy essentially shave the meat of a coconut and then twist the shavings in the hairs of the husk. He got like 1 tablespoon of “milk”.
You can’t really squeeze coconut meat without shredding it or using a hydrolic press. I’d wager the meat is just a tough sponge holding the water and it gets milky due to the meat breaking down when you squeeze or shred it.
It’s like saying oranges produce pulp. Oranges produce juice but humans produce the pulp by shredding the remains of the inside of the orange.
Coconuts produce water. Coconut milk is made by pureeing coconut meat and mixing it with cononut water.
Coconuts don’t produce anything “milky” on their own. Coconut watet is clear.

Squeezing it out of coconut flesh?

Now I’m thinking about what it would be like to puree beef with cow’s milk. I’m sure the steak shake already exists somewhere in the States.
