Why inbreeding animals causes so much harm to offspring, but it is not the case in case of plants?

I am curious what are the reasons that inbreeding animals leads to the higher probability of many genetics disorders, but it seems not to affect well-being of plants? Or am I wrong here and inbreeding plants also damages DNA of next generations, but maybe less, than these of animals?
Also as far as I know number of chromosomes in plants can vary with no or little effect on them. Why is it like that? Would that be on of the reasons why inbreeding is not dangerous to plants?

Plants don’t respond to it too well either. The best example is apples because they’re super inbred to protect the distinct flavors of each type. This makes them prone to diseases and fungus and require a lot more pesticides than other crops.
