That is because good chefs know that people eat with their eyes as much as their taste buds.
Besides these same people are just eating tasteless tomatoes from the store anyway.
Plus by the time you put a bunch of dressing on the salad that is all you can taste.
To this day people I know loved the yellow and red pear tomatoes I grew.
