You are right, however at the same time, the vast majority of GMO work is done with the entire purpose of increasing yield, even if top soil is already being over-utilized and dieing. We could use it to make food tastier and more nutritious, but is a20% tastier apple going to sell 20% for more? 20% higher yield will. And having usable top soil in 50 years doesn't get the same financial incentive as using up in 20, selling off used up land to developers, then buying out the properly tended soil from struggling farmers who didn't fuck their land.
