And yet you're still missing most of the point. Commercial tomatoes aren't pulled off the vine early for fun or pure greed, it's a matter of picking them before they are too soft to survive shipment.
That's not a problem with a tomato from your own back yard, but it's a big deal even if they only have to travel a few miles.
