This article was a big surprise to me for another reason: I've lived in a variety of regions in the U.S. and loose produce has been the norm my whole life, at least for items that aren't really small (berries usually come in packages). You can buy a sack of 10 oranges or something, but the norm is to select your own oranges one by one.

I'd very much have expected the U.S. to do whatever makes the most profit, so I wonder why there's such a cultural divide.
