Food safety needs to be protected, but why do we need regulations on
classifying bananas based on size, appearance, lack of malformations,
damage, etc.? People will either buy them or not, so the market will
dictate price based upon quality without specific regulation.

I'd rather buy a pack of anything knowing what I'm getting. Ie, class 1,2
or 3 etc. Rather than discover at home that it is a mixture of all three.

I guess that those who argue against the need for standards for bananas
are probably the sort of people who don't ever buy any.

More likely never do the shopping themselves. But still, of course, have
an opinion about it.

Or it could be the exact opposite, where you want all products to be uniform.
eg. The sort that only buy large eggs, forgetting that other size eggs are laid too, but they want their one simple size for all.
