Speak for yourself. A lot of people don't want to take part in consumerism and only buy (or just not buy) fruits, when it is their time and don't buy stuff from more than 200km away out of principle.
I'm one of those. But it's not out of principle, it's because they taste much better, I'm currently eating WA pears from costco as it's the season and have been incredibly good and consistent.
