I stopped buying whole bean coffee for a week and used pre-ground, and I actually liked it better

Last week my grinder broke on a Sunday morning and the only thing open was a gas station with pre-ground coffee, so I grabbed a bag for $8. I brewed it in my usual pour over and the cup was smoother and less bitter than my whole bean routine that costs $18 a bag. Am I crazy for thinking fresh ground is overrated, or has anyone else had this happen?
