When they bred for ripeness simultaneosity (I just made that word up) they were also breeding out flavor. They did not know it at the time. Eventually, they developed hybrids that would all be ripe at the same time. The commercial part of the industry does not harvest by hand. All the tomatoes are harvested at the same time, machinially. I made that one up too.

The word you are looking for a "Heirloom." Basically means the opposite of hybrid. While hybrids are great for being ripe at the same time, heirlooms are known for their flavor. Garden heirloom tomatoes can be a transcendental experience.

We always plant a Sungold. I think it can go by other names. It's a cherry tomato that s not red. It is orange/yellow. Like little balls of sugar that explode in your mouth. GREAT on salads, cut in half.

Yep, I'll find something eventually. In the mean time, at least I've got sauce!
