Just wondering, might that be so they can get more fruit from a single 
planting?  That is, instead of letting a plant ripen its pods and then 
harvesting, do they get more fruit if they keep picking green, and the plant 
keeps producing more?

A side guess, is it easier to handle and ship unripe peppers, too?  Some of 
the pods I see in the grocery, like serranos, are green with an occasional 
patch of orange on the ones old enough to have hard, dry stems.
