Cloning plants is a thing people have been doing for a long time, and is one popular way to get good produce.
You also take a set of carefully selected plants and carefully breed them to get a plant that has the desired profile. It’s the deliberate nature that results in a better food, not “not being a replant”.
Pollinators don’t care which plants they combine, so the natural way often produces a fruit that isn’t as good as a food crop.
It’s the real reason most farmers aren’t actually super into reusing seed. It typically results in a lower quality yield.
