Luckily I love it when bananas are harder. When they get mushy it makes me gag.
Also, phrasing on that one

If only that was actually true. Fully box-ripened bananas are terrible. They are only edible when quite green in my opinion. Once "ripe" they are only suitable as an ingredient in other things like baking.
An actual tree-ripened banana is a wholly different thing than an artificially ripened banana...Those are actually good.

There seems to be so much confusions here. I can set the story straight: a banana is not to be eaten until it has NO green left. Who likes bitter bananas? Blech

The taste of bananas has changed so much in my lifetime. They now almost have no taste

That's probably on you. All banana are basically clones (yes there's some outliers) and have been since the 50s. The methods in harvesting and transport (13°C, strong ventilation) and ripening (ethylene gas, slightly higher temperature) have been unchanged since about that time. I worked on reefer ships, we mostly carried bananas.

The dieticians prefer you to eat them more green than yellow. The yellow it gets the carbs from fiber become carbs from sugar so your net carbs increase (at least that's my understanding). But somethings just are not worth longevity and eating green bananas is one of them.
