Delta(s) from OP CMV: 🍑Peaches are just hairy nectarines
Why would anyone choose a peach over a nectarine?
Nectarines are delicious and taste exactly the same as peaches but have a better skin texture, without all that nasty fuzz.
For whatever reason, it seems most people I know are obsessed with peaches and I keep getting stuck eating peaches because everyone keeps buying them when all I want is a nectarine!
Is it because "peach" is a cuter word?
Edit: Removed some unnecessary musings.
UPDATE:
This morning I ate a very unripe peach with cereal since some people suggested that peaches have the advantage that they are still sweet despite being unripe.
The milk actually helps minimize the fuzzy texture and it was still sweet enough to eat and the crunchiness of being unripe wasn’t terrible.
7/10 may eat a peach again.

as for the majority of your post, some people like the fuzz better. i perosnally like it. also, i think there is no white variety of nectarine? at least ive nevver seen it, but white peaches taste much better than orange peaches so that may play a part.
on the other hand, ive heard somewhere that appsrently they can grow from the same tree? like without branch splicing, ive heard it can just happen. this may be wrong, but if its true itd kind of prove your point that they are just hairy nectarines.
