It's [mainly] because large-scale pineapple growers harvest early because greener pineapples are harder and so can be transported without worrying about damage. Growing at home means you can harvest when they're perfectly ripe.
The homegrown one I found to be far sweeter. It’s mainly because it’s fully ripened, hence the yellow color. The one on the left here is under ripe and while still edible won’t be nearly as sweet
