This has nothing to do with techniques. This has to do with what those techniques are used to create.
For instance. The difference in taste between a tomato I get in my already overpriced but well stocked supermarket here in NY and the tomato I pick up from a local farmer nearby is night and day.
One of them can litterally stand on it's own the other is bland and tasteless. They cost around the same.
The problem become when optimization get higher priorities than the result of the optimization.
I am well aware that there are many reasons why we don't want 100% organic farming unless we can do it at scale like conventional farming, but currently the difference in taste is night and day and if you care about that then it's a big deal and techniques can be used to fix it.
