Fruit in nature is highly variable. I can't find a link to a paper that was published that showed that aboriginal fruit was on average a bit higher in sugar content than standard varieties. Here's a paper that came up in a quick search, and the main point is really that the sugar content is highly variable in nature, and some natural fruit are rich in sugar [1] Modern breeding does not have high sugar content as it's biggest priority but often instead focuses first on the ability to grow the plant in an agricultural system, sell it in a supermarket (durable in transport, avoid spoiling), and eat it conveniently (for example remove seeds). This includes reducing toxins and bitter flavors so that fruit can be picked before it is fully ripe.
