Great Question!
Firstly, plants baring seedless fruit have to be grown from cutoffs and the seedless fruit itself is the result of a genetic mutation.
Secondly, in light of the first fact, because such a plant can only be cultivated from cutoffs, the plants can't evolve to resist new diseases.
Humans have been cultivating seedless banana's for 15000 years: enumerable variety's have already become extinct because of this; in fact, one known as the Gros Michael disappeared in the sixties and was said to well exceed the variety we have now in regards to flavour and texture.
Have you not noticed how much sweeter and flavoursome seeded watermelon is compared to the seedless type? The seedless fruit industry - as many other vacuous trades - relies solely on consumer demand rather than intelligent progress.
What's the moral of the story? Naturally procreating organisms with diverse gene pools survive and flourish, while organisms with little or no genetic diversity eventually become extinct.
Love thy seed. Boycott thy seedless. And enjoy the wonderful endowments of our species by actively diversifying your gene pool via natural procreation with one, or many whom you are genetically different to.
Thank ye muchly. Diversify!

What is the differences between seedless and seed plant?
Seedless plants reproduce through spores, while seed plants reproduce through seeds. Seed plants have a more complex reproductive system that includes flowers and fruits, while seedless plants do not produce flowers or fruits. Seedless plants, such as ferns, mosses, and algae, are typically smaller and simpler in structure compared to seed plants, which include angiosperms (flowering plants) and gymnosperms (conifers).
Is seedless fruits dangerous?
No
What are the two groups of fruits?
Seedless FruitsSeeded Fruits
Can organic fruits or veggies be seedless?
Yes, organic fruits or veggies can be seedless. Seedless varieties can occur naturally, be developed through selective breeding, or be produced through sterile hybridization techniques. Organizations that certify organic produce have specific guidelines for seedless varieties.
Is a hornworts a seedless or seeded plant?
Hornworts are seedless plants. They reproduce through spores, not seeds.
How can seedless grapes be made to reproduce to make new plants?
Seedless grapes are typically produced through a process called parthenocarpy, where fruits develop without fertilization. To propagate seedless grapes, cuttings from the grapevine can be taken and rooted in soil to grow new plants. This is a common method used by grape growers to clone seedless grape varieties.
Is a tree fern a seedless plant?
A tree fern is a seedless plant. All ferns are seedless plants. They reproduce by spores instead of seeds.
What plants reproduce using spores?
seedless plants
What do seedless plants need in order to reproduce?
Photosynthesis
Do seedless plants use rhizoids to reproduce seeds?
no
Are bryophytes seedless?
Yes, bryophytes are seedless plants. They reproduce through spores instead of seeds.
Are seedless grapes fruits or vegetables?
They are Fruits even though they dont have seeds
