I think because you either have to peel them or cut them in half and scoop them out rather than pop them in your mouth? I don’t know. I never had an issue peeling them. And I think red grapefruits are very tasty.
They even make special spoons for it! When I was a kid, that was how I thought you were supposed to do it. My parents did not teach me grapefruit properly.

Grapefruit spoon:
Omg I need that spoon, it’s perfect!
Slice in half, scoop each section, squeeze remaining juice into the spoon
And there’s satisfaction in that damn it
That’s by far the wrongest xkcd has ever been.
Yes. A pomegranate at the right level of ripeness is the fruit of the gods.
I have many problems with that chart, but I was not one of today’s lucky 10,000.
Wtf? I’ve got everything crowded up at the highest level of tasty, including the lemon - nom nom!
