They're not all _the same_ clones, but eating apples are all clones. Apples grown from seed taste wildly different from their parents tree, so every commercially-available apple variety is made by coming and grafting.

Apples grown from seed are pretty much just good for making alcohol (which makes Johnny Appleseed hilarious as a folk-hero hilarious).

You sound like you know what you’re talking about but I’m still going to get a second opinion.

Pretty much all tree fruit is grown this way including citrus, stonefruit, apples, pears, and avocados. Graft a branch of a tree that makes good fruit onto the trunk of a variety that has hearty roots.
