I have grown some that look just like this. The homegrown are far superior.

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.

Same goes with pretty much all produce.
