Because we modified their genes with selective breeding. Unmodified banana.

That, too has also been done by selective breeding.

The point I obviously failed to make is that selective breeding and things like CRIPR aren't on different levels of modifications. Just other tools used.
That's why the debate about GMO, which afaik also considers selective breeding, isn't black and white but rather complicated.
