Selective breeding is different than genetic modification.

Nope. Both are genetic modifications.

CRISPRing fucking maize?

Also not true. CRISPR is bacteria mechanism and is not used in plants.

CRISPR would work for other organisms wouldn't it?

It would if they had it. AFAIR usually viral vector is used. I recommend you watching thisl channel.

I can't imagine an organism (other than a virus) that doesn't have a virial vector to exploit.

Viral vector is virus that can't self-replicate
