I have no idea, TBH. I’ve always bought them in bags where they could “breathe”, and those all eventually start growing (rather than rotting/going bad) if I forget about them in the pantry for too long. The only ones I’ve ever bought that were plastic-wrapped were big, baking potatoes. Maybe it keeps them from sprouting for a bit longer?
Eh maybe it’s a moisture thing, where locking in the moisture saturates them in their own funk? Cause yeah I’m with ya, I usually buy the mesh bags and they’ll keep until they start gaining sentience.
