Is this actually accurate?
I know green capsicums are generally unripe but my understanding was that the different varieties start as green, then will ripen to one of red, yellow, or orange depending on variety. Not go through them all like a traffic light.
That's why you get mixed green/red etc, but you don't see ones that are four different colours as ot ripens unevenly.
Yeah I don't think they do what OP claims. I had bell pepper plants in the garden this year. One green one, which stayed green, and one purple, which do start green but transition to just purple when ripe, but no other colors after that.
They do turn. Not as stated though it Depends on variety. Your green would have changed color with time and ripeness. The purple ones often go red as well with time. Yellow is it's own variety bred to be that color. Oddly you can get pepper plants that grow all 3 colors (snack size) at the same time. There are also permanent green peppers. And those specifically bred to turn a certain color like yellow or purple. Regardless of type often in larger sample sizes you'll get those that turn red even when they're meant to be green or orange or something.

There are Permagreen peppers but they aren't the only kind of green bell pepper sold, many are unripe reds. (I hate that our produce doesn't require stricter labeling.)
The end color the peppers change into is genetically controlled and a wee bit complicated.

However it usually shifts from green to the final color directly.
Hot take: They're all pretty tasty.
For some varieties yes, such as the bell pepper. You can get green, yellow, orange and red bell peppers, which are all just different maturity levels.
Black peppers (old world) are very different from new world capsicum plants. They are all called peppers because they are hot, I guess. Sort of like maze being called corn, which is just Latin for grain. Shows a decided lack of imagination.
Fun fact, most languages have distinct words for both of these.
