But if the apple lovers have two choices, but the banana lovers only have one, then the apple votes might be spit 26% for Apple-A, and 32% for Apple-B between the two apple candidates, while the Banana still gets 42%.

Plurality Voting is by far one of the worst voting systems due to the Spoiler Effect.
Example: 58% the people want President Apple, and 42% want President Bananas.
If there is one candidate on each side, the apple lovers win, cause they are the majority.
