I/we use tomatoes because the sad fate of the tomato is the best rallying cry we have.

I don’t even like tomatoes, but they piss a lot of people off.

I heard an NPR interview a few years ago where a farmer was trying to do for peaches what we have done for apples - make a palette of flavors instead of the 2 we get. Those are selected for shipping as well. They are only really flavorful just before they spoil, or when baked.
