Fruit that is bred primarily for sweetness at the expense of complexity of flavour

Gala is the apple that always seemed to me to encapsulate the unfortunate shift in recent decades towards fruit that is bred primarily for sweetness at the expense of complexity of flavour. Of course it is an apple that is extremely successful due to its attractive appearance and colour, and as it is grown all over the world in both hemispheres it can be in the supermarkets all year round. So it has become the dominant variety.
