Good points.
I would argue that grains, lentils and eggs are fresh, as well as most meats that I would consider "healthy" enough to be compared with fruits, but that's maybe due to my perhaps non-standard understanding of the word so I apologize for the confusion (let me conveniently hide behind the "non-native speaker" excuse).
I concede frozen vegetables.
I agree that veggies (especially legumes and root vegetables) are even healthier than fruits.
But I think we should encourage fruit consumption as a more healthy way to enjoy sweet things.
I think it's more effective than to continue consuming large amounts of processed foods with added sugars and more pragmatic than trying to cut out everything sweet altogether.
Most unhealthy diets are caloric surplus anyway, so I think it makes more sense to replace things than to simply add them, and fruits are a good substitute because they taste really good by default.
I enjoy many vegetables, but most are not that tasty without good preparation (cooking, seasoning, etc. - notable exceptions: carrots & tomatoes).
You can just bite into a banana and it tastes great, scratches that sweet craving and will also satiate you a bit; a good substitute for a chocolate or ice cream. Or a bag of chips.
