I can tell that the person doing the rankings doesn't try to bake with these apples, or do anything but eat them out of hand; this is basically Hot or Not but for apples.
They said they consider factors such as use in baking as secondary:
"After the initial one hundred point evaluation is calculated several additional factors are considered which may add or subtract points. These include: Lineage, History, Sustainability, Uniqueness, Longevity, and Alternative Uses (cider, applesauce, baking)."
