To some extent the original point still stands though. What is the point of having banana flavored things taste like a banana that nobody has tasted in the last 70 years?

Because that's when the original artificial flavor recipes were created, and most products now just use the old recipes because that's easier than trying to formulate entirely new ones.

Plus, for at least some of that time, there were probably still plenty of people who thought the old flavor tasted better. And then later on, just inertia and apathy took over and no one cared enough to change things.
