Also eating skins turns kiwis from a fruit you have to spend time to preprocess (halve + grab spoon) to an immediate snack.
This may sound insignificant to many but for the extremely lazy like me, this is the difference between going to waste and being consumed for many fruits.
You can just break them into two roughly equal halves and use your teeth to scoop out the flesh. No need for either a knife, a spoon or any kind of preprocessing. I've been eating them that way for decades.

Both of your comments sound foreign to me. In my experience, kiwis are eaten with the fingers, including the skin, but they are prepared by slicing. The form you eat is a collection of circular discs, cross sections of the original fruit.

So a spoon would make no sense - it wouldn't help you even if you were inclined to use one - but there's plenty of processing time involved.
I cut into fourths lengthwise and eat like orange slices. Big time saver.
Half + spoon? What is this sacrilege? Peel with knife like a potato and then eat the whole thing.
Why would you peel potatos? The skin is the best part!
Because you're making mash, and mash with skin inside it is....not quite the same thing.
Almost all mashed potatoes I've ever had that wasn't in a microwave dinner has come with skins inside. Do you always use russet or something?
