When the berries are in season you can sometimes buy them at regular supermarkets or for sure at farmers markets.

They are quite intensively harvested in countries like Finland, Sweden, Poland and Belarus. The frozen berries are then exported. For instance where I live (Austria) I can buy frozen Bilberries at a much cheaper price than regular Blueberries.

Yes frozen can be found (in french speaking regions - myrtilles sauvages) and they are the right kind, meaning same as forest kind. But the ones I can get are quite sour.

If you think this is the worst offender, compare real tiny forest strawberries with that bland stuff from grocery stores. 5% of the volume, 300% of the taste. Even good ripe homegrown ones pale in comparison. Had a hike last weekend and hit the right spot of altitude and their ripeness, got stuck for an hour just nibbling on them along forest roads.

Interesting, I have wild strawberries growing on my property and they are pretty tasteless in my experience, but I'm at a low altitude.
