In my opinion yes, they are somewhat compromised. Buy local as much as possible. The bigger the brand name, the more of a chance of it being cheated on. Cornucopia Institute can help with some of your concerns though.
"Sometimes I look at the “organic stuff” and they look huge and perfect it’s hard to believe it’s organic."
Nutrition is the important factor and the presence of seeds is a fertile and healthy specimen. We all know about how bad GMO is and it is toxic to your health and environment. Hybridity can also be bad too. Wheat has been so over bred to such an extent for its gluten that it is actually not good for you. In general, all hybrids are less nutritious because trying to breed certain traits into it also carries the negative traits with it. For example, enhanced sweetness versus another diminished disease resistance, etc.
The most nutritious food is grows in the wild. For example, wild blueberries beat organic blueberries for nutrition by a lot.
Eating organic is a goal. One must try to get whatever one can get that's available and healthy for them.

Where do you get wild blueberries?
Depends on where you live. In the north, they like growing in low areas. You'll have to a little research on it and you can buy them too.
