Why doesn't anybody else seem to grow zap apples?

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  I wondered about that too

  Nobody else wants to deal with all the maybe-superstitious-maybe-real horseshit she has to do to get them to grow.

  For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.

  That and nopony else wants to brave the Everfree to get the zap apples in the first place.

  
  

  Actually, seeing as Sweet Apple Acres already has a bunch of zap apple trees, it should be easy for them to share some seeds or cuttings so other Apple family-owned farms can grow zap apples, too. So, either the zap apples can't grow anywhere else (they probably need a very particular combination of climate, soil conditions, and wild magic from the Everfree), or the Apple family just has zero business sense.
