Would you like a lump of unsalted, uunflavored starch? No? What if we slice it open and dump in a lot of heavy flavor ingredients and spices? That way you can overwhelm your taste buds in the first few forkfuls, and the remaining unflavored mass will taste even blander by comparison!

Who invented this and what did they have against dicing the potato in appropriately sized chunks to absorb and distribute the flavor?

It's really good and you can have it with minimal prep. Just wash, dry and throw it in an air fryer or convection oven. You don't even need to poke holes in it.

I like more elaborate potatoes, though, so after that, I tear it up into bite-sized pieces. Then I add diced onions, black pepper and either salt or a seasoning mix that contains it. I put shredded cheddar on top and melt it on in the microwave. I take it out and serve with a thin coating of sour cream. It's one of my favorite meals. The crispy skin makes a big difference.

Still, there's no need to do all that. Just the air fryer will get the skin crispy and you could eat it like an apple, if you wanted to.
