That's not how we breed production hybrids. Theres a great deal more to it than getting two plants together, and you would never want to "leave them alone". High yeild crops are almost entirely F1 hybrids, and sterile. You do have to keep going back to the seedhouse. Even on the rare occasion that they aren't sterile you still have to get the inoculants and boosters they smuggle into or onto the seedcoats. Massive amounts of tampering either way you look at it. Alot of the same drawbacks either way you look at it. GM has the advantage of speed, control, and cost.
Isolation cells, growth hormones, inoculants, directed programs employing all of this and more coming together to produce an even more exotic hybrid. The list is pretty much endless. The "lust for profit" drives both methods, and agriculture in general. I have grown all kinds of tomatoes, I worked on a research farm in Manatee County Florida where a massive amount of tomatoes in the US come from. The taste has nothing to do with "naturally grown". It's post production handling in most cases, and others just poor production practices, neither of which applies only to greenhouse or year-round production. If a tomato is given the proper amount of nutrients and sufficient water and then allowed to fully ripen it will taste as good as it can taste, regardless of whether you grew it by hand in the field or a series of machines grew it in a plastic tub. Food myths are big business though.......
