Store bought blueberry loaf vs homemade - texture?

Hi everyone! I've always enjoyed blueberry baked goods - mostly muffins - and tried my hand at making Recipe Tin Eats Blueberry Lemon Loaf. Mostly a success and very tasty, but I'm a bit taken aback at the texture of the blueberries inside? In all the shop bought goods I've had before, the blueberries had almost completely melted into the treat and was just a pocket of taste with a slightly different texture, but with my loaf there were large pockets of, well, blueberry slime. It wasn't bad but I did have to ignore the texture a bit and some of the greyer ones were visually off putting.

Does anyone know if there's something the stores do to get their blueberries like that in their goods? I used frozen (with some fresh) in mine, and I doubt the shops where I live use fresh.

Thanks in advance!
