I like bananas, but I definitely don't like banana flavored stuff. So I guess you might be right. It tastes so artificial imo. When we buy yoghurt, the banana yoghurt is always the one that stays until all other flavours are gone. Same for candy.
That's because it doesn't taste like the bananas we eat nowadays. It's a flavor based on the Gros Michel banana, which was largely wiped out in the 1960s by a disease. The bananas we eat today are less flavorful, but they're also resistant to that disease.
