Subject: Why wouldn't seedless strawberries be commercially profitable?

I was doing some research for information about seedless strawberries existing 
and being available for purchase and stumbled onto your site. In reading about 
how the fruit forms and the possibility they could be grown. I was struck by a 
comment that the seeds are so small they are easy to digest and therefore only 
seeded fruits that had larger seeds would be commercially viable. The question 
I had was why is that so? I personnally was searching for seedless strawberries 
since my mother is stricken with diverticulitis an intestinal disorder that 
causes extreme pain when she eats any small seeds like strawberries or popcorn 
which can become lodged in small pockets formed in her intestine. I was made 
aware that this disorder is fairly common in smaller forms as we grow older 
although most people are not crippled by the disease. It just causes pain or 
digestive problems and people stay away from certain foods to remedy it. My 
mother loves strawberries and is now forced to refrain from them in her diet in 
almost all foods. I think that is sad and wanted to find some seedless variety. 
The second thought is wouldn't it be easier to produce seedless jellies and 
candies if one started from strawberries that had no seeds. Is it extremely 
costly to produce strawberries without seeds? Does it take many man hours to do 
it? Could I do it at home on a small scale? It seems like a niche exists for 
this if however small.
