Edit: incorrect, I must just have never had a good Serrano
Serrano has always been milder though. Shit, last time I bought some habs from a regular store they were mild enough for a midwestern child who’s yet to learn ranch is optional
Most grocery stores are terrible about having properly ripe peppers and the flavor and heat levels suffer for it. Serranos are a common victim of this as are the habaneros you mentioned.

In my experience, Serranos have always been about twice as spicy as Jalapenos. Maybe I've just gotten some seed-packed scorchers?
I looked it up, they max out several times higher. I must just be in a region with incredibly mid Serrano supply
My condolences
It works out, grocery inadequacies aside the region is amazing for growing peppers.
Every year gets better for my area. Thanks, Climate change.
