To be fair, the store bought fruit salad usually has the abomination that is crunchy, mostly-flavorless, unripe (if you're lucky it's just under-ripe) honeydew and cantaloupe (and sometimes watermelon) that are mixed in as weight/space adding filler instead of more expensive berries.
If you buy your own and get one that smells ripe/sweet (if it doesn't have a scent don't even bother with it) and is a more yellow/orange in it's rind they are wonderful. Too many people just assume if it's in the store it's going to be ripe.
