Bread freezes just fine, I could name you a bunch of 3 star Michelin places serving frozen bread every day.

You still want a humidity controlled oven for reheating, so not necessarily super convenient at home.

A high-end baker I work with (https://triticum.net/) only sells frozen bread, everything comes with extensive instructions for reheating.

Needing special equipment or an unusual process to defrost indicates that it doesn't freeze well in the sense most people mean, but that it can be done with effort.

When I need to freeze bread, I don't bake the loaves fully first. I get them maybe 80% the way, then freeze. Then I can complete the bake after thawing.

I get reasonably decent results that way, although you can still tell.
