Not crazy. I live in Apple country (Ontario, Canada) and Red Delicious were my favourite apple until my 20’s.
A Red Delicious used to have a snap to the skin when you bit and a crisp crunch with a semi-sweet flavour. As time went on they bred more and more for the thick skin because it was so popular. In breeding that thick skin a lot of times what you get is an apple that’s mealy inside like a MacIntosh (fuck those abominations).
