I love more the plantain types than cavendishes and there are numerous other types of bananas out there for us to enjoy. I can live without those cavendishes. Perhaps this can be traced to growing my early years in a tropical country where I see a lot of leftover cavendish bananas rotting all over the place, from the shipyard loading docks to the market, there's so many of them as they are cultivated by Dole and Del Monte. Because of their abundance and very short shelf life in the tropics, I learned to appreciate more of our native types, and indeed they do taste light years better than cavendishes. Only after a long time in the US that I get accustomed to the cavendish types as there are few other choices anyway, but not anymore, now that I can grow other types. I guess I am biased, as long as it is not cavendish, I would like it, but in the absence of any other bananas out there, I can eat the cavendish without complaints. Their demise though, won't be missed by me, and that's just me.
