Even when we buy orange juice that lists only “orange juice” as its ingredients, store bought OJ looks and tastes really different from OJ when I run a couple of oranges through the juicer. Store bought is more opaque and tends to just taste different from biting into an orange. Why?

Because store bought orange juice is made in large factories, the juice has to be stores. To prevent spoilage they store it in a special way that preserves it but essentially removes the flavor. The factory later adds a flavoring back to it before bottling it. Fresh squeezed has all the original flavor because you just make the juice and drink with not extra steps.
Several years ago Cracked made a video about fruit juice in general, https://youtu.be/8Cf_GdmjXxQ, it’s cynical but factually accurate.
