That proves my point. Do they toast their bread? Do they cut the crust off their toast?

I think this might be correlated with the type of bread. When you have the really sweet highly processed white bread, the crust tastes very bitter in contrast. With higher quality breads, the crust is just a little dryer, but not too different from the rest of the slice. I never liked bread crust as a kid, nor did my partner. But my kid never complained about crust and this is my hypothesis as to why.
