I've heard a few times already that they're terrible in the US and pretty good in the EU, so that might be why you're seeing such a discrepancy...
Could be, I remember a guy working the pizza area messed up and put the beyond chicken on the bbq chicken pizza back when beyond meat was a brand new thing. I had to return it. I didn't know it was beyond chicken, but I thought it had gone bad or something because it was so gross. We also had a seitan vendor come in and try to sell wheat meat... Gross. A number of sausages, hot dogs, etc. gross. I am a meat eater, but I have an open mind and will try anything. I personally believe if you want to go vegetarian or vegan, you can just do that. No need to eat ultra processed food that looks kinda like meat and tastes horrible. I will say, one of the fake chorizos was somewhat tolerable.
