Well Scotch Bonnet still exists, so some people must like them! 😆 This was our first experience of them. Usually we just have birdeye and sometimes jalapeno. Although at one point we had Thai chillies, which went from green, to purple then red. I suspect my current birdeyes are crossed with these, because they are fatter than the originals.
I think for sure they are true tropical and don't like our winter one bit. We rarely even get to 0° as well.
