Default Lemons & Oranges from Pips ?

I have been told by a professional citrus grower that lemon and orange
plants grown from pips seldom flower or fruit.

Is this likely to be an accurate statement ??

Pretty well. They might eventually flower but the fruit is unlikely to be
much cop.
The decent cultivars grown for nice edible fruit are all grafted.

Same with apples and pears you might just get lucky but the odds are
against you.
