Food isn’t all about macros, you need to get your micronutrients (minerals etc), which heavy processing partially removes. There’s also the rabbit hole of soil quality, where a plant can only contain the nutrients its soil has offered (copper, molybdenum, humic acid etc), where organic food tends to be better because soil health is actually looked at.

which heavy processing partially removes

Only because they don't focus on micronutrients.

where organic food tends to be better because soil health is actually looked at.

You don't think large scale farmers look at soil health? Every single large scale farmer knows about soil health.
