I think 'breed true' is the key here, for example you can't plant the seeds out of that tasty Gala apple and get a tree covered with Gala apples (in 10yr - another challenge with some food crops)[1]. But for perennials like tomatoes and chiles, it's great!

With other plants, it's also easy and advisable just to let some go to seed instead of harvesting them. You'll have plenty for the next round.
