Has anyone successfully rooted/grown PinkGlow pineapple from crown?

[nullroar]

I’ve always been one to root / grow any seeds / crowns etc. on plants I purchase. I recently came across the PunkGlow pineapple, and noticed they have a procedure of cutting off most of the crown (ostensibly for “green” purposes, but almost certainly to disincentivize growing it from the crown). I was wondering if anyone had tried it, or even if inhibits growth significantly. Etc.

There was a thread on this last week. Someone stated that if the crown has been cut off, there will still probably be enough material left to root, with some effort required. https://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=44285.0
