But I did not grow up on real wild strawberries, and yet instantly preferred them when I got the chance to sample them. (At a restaurant in Rome, actually, is the first time I know about; didn't even have to gather them myself.)

And in fact I grew up on "Log Cabin" syrup most of the time, and strongly preferred real maple syrup when I could get it.

At least for me, familiarity is very much not the issue.

Ah; did they by chance ask the people "which tastes most like real strawberries?" rather than "which tastes best"? That would make familiarity much more of an issue. And would probably be a stupid mistake, unless their experience with wording the question shows otherwise.
