IMO in supermarkets in the UK they're both under and over cooked - too consistent in colour and texture throughout.
In France, even in les supermarchés you get a nice crisp exterior and soft fluffy inside.

I always find industrial baguettes under cooked, but you raise an important point : it all come back to personnal preferences and that's for me the special thing about the baguette, so few ingredients and so many variations in taste ...
