is what you tell kids. Apples grown from seed usually taste terrible. All the ones you can buy are grafted from ones that proved edible.

In reality such apples are used to brew alcoholic cider.

Makes sense. Thirty Five years to find out why my seed-grown apple tree I planted didn't work out.

but also crazy that all the Golden Delicious / Pink Lady / Gala / Jonagold apples come from the same tree, split and grafted forever

You can take sour apples and make all sorts of things from it. Cider was a way to break down the longer starches and such and make it edible.
