I can't speak to french apple grocery store selection, but I wonder if you should maybe go to a different grocery store in the US. In my area (SF Bay Area) at the most common grocery chain (Safeway) there are probably 8 or so varieties of apples on sale and they often rotate. I would say that they always have the common ones that you describe (Red Delicious, Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith), some less common ones that are there 80% of the time (Honeycrisp, Pink Lady) and then some more exotic ones that rotate (this time they had two I had never tried before - Pazaz [I had to check twice to make sure they didn't say Pazuzu] and Sugar Bee). The Sugar Bee's were incredible - firm, crispy, juicy and sweet with just a small hint of tartness. Beyond just the bulk loose apples, they had a bunch of weird apple "products" that were either packaged up or sold in a bag. The weirdest ones were apple "bites" which were just tiny little apples - no variety specified. In my experience, the average US grocery store has a vast selection of produce and I see the pattern with apples (standard base varieties, with some rotating specials) across most categories of produce - citrus, cucumbers, peppers, root veggies, etc. So in short, I dunno, I actually feel like there's a massive variety of agricultural products in the US. Certainly way more than in Switzerland, the country in which I've been to the grocery store the most outside of the US. Coop has like 3 kinds of apples, Migros was a bit better and had some interesting Kanzi apples which I had not seen in the states. YMMV ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
