> supermarkets tend to value longevity, ability to store, hardiness, appearance

Supermarkets value what is profitable. You know, the difference between what people will pay for something and what it costs to provide said something.

People pay more for appearance. In store shelf-life reduces costs and post-purchase shelf-life increases buying and reduces angry customers and returns. etc.
