Not all plants will produce the correct phenotype! Could be a cross or your seeds were not from the best phenotype looking pepper!

Chillies are largely self pollinating but when they’re grown close to each other there’s a non-zero chance they will be cross pollinated. This does kinda resemble the shape of a ghost pepper though, so if that was the pollinator it’s still going to have some heat!
