Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The pork I get front eh supermarket today is better than what we used to get buying half a pig from our local market.
Apples also are better because supermarkets have the ability to harvest from a large geography whereas small markets only provided provincially available varieties like red delicious.
Most metropolitan supermarkets can provide air chilled chicken which has never been frozen.
But in contrast, no steak will surpass what you can get in Montana from a rancher raising grass fed beef.
As someone who has moved around a bit I think it’s very regional. I have had great supermarkets with great produce. CA is pretty easy in this regard. Some states have universally miserable tomatoes and I don’t understand how Trader Joe’s seems to always have the absolute worst peppers. I think it comes down to what will last through hard lines and what grows in the state.
