Search engine optimization is why. The more relevant words you pump into your page, the more likely you'll wind up at the top of searches. Also, you can squeeze in more ad space. Basically it's capitalism's fault that I can't just read a fuckin recipe like I want
doesn't it also let you copyright it? cause you can't copyright a recipe but you can copyright the "what i did on my summer vacation" essay that goes with it
You can copyright recipes if there's enough substance around the instructions. Like if I write a recipe, but also include step-by-step pictures, give you tips on how to properly whisk, when to tell when it's cooked, etc, then I can claim copyright. If it's purely a "what I did on vacation" blog post with a recipe at the bottom, you can't.
Ha, that's probably right. In fact, most probably don't have any of that! But you don't see them because the ones with good SEO take up the first 3 pages of Google results.
I'm convinced that adding pineapple makes your recipe rank higher for "Hawaiian" dishes because of the long-standing dumb-dumb correlation between "Hawaiian" and "Pineapple"
It's hard to find good Hawaiian style recipes because the results are flooded with midwestern moms putting fucking pineapple in shit.
Edit for an example:
https://www.google.com/search?q=hawaiian+style+chili+recipe
Hawaiian style chili is a thing, it has Portuguese sausage, maybe ginger and soy sauce, otherwise standard ingredients for chili-with-beans. Usually has green bell peppers, kidney beans and chili beans. Sometimes you put mayonnaise in it after serving, which sounds weird, but it's like sour cream only better.
But all three of the top carousel results are some asshole's fucking chili with PINEAPPLE.
FOUL.
This is the real shit:

Yeah it's amazing, I won a chili contest at my work with it a few years back. I usually use poblano peppers for some extra heat and kinda saute all the veggies/beans for 5 mins before adding the sauce. And I use tomato paste instead of ketchup, which people commonly do. Many people also add ginger powder, which is great.
And it goes really well with white rice. It's kind of meant to go with rice, but I usually skip it because carbs.
Sorta related but Hawaiian BBQ is so good. I also never thought I'd like SPAM, just cause of how unappealing it is, but holy shit, when done right it's actually really good
I'm sure I'll get downvoted for this. But have you ever had Hawaiian pizza? Pinnapples on pizza? It's literally mixing oil and water because the cheese releases oil and the Pinnapple is watery. I'll never understand that.
This. Increasingly Google looks for what it deems to be organic content, often meaning more naturally written, in order to reduce the impact of generic blogs or shell sites that are just used for back linking. In theory it's a good idea as it prioritizes real content written by real people, but in a scenario like this it can be a bit annoying.
Yup. Keeps a fair few copywriters afloat if nothing else, since content repeated elsewhere ranks lower and content Google suspects is written by programs tanks your SEO.

Long way of saying, yeah you're right

as opposed to the not water-based tomato sauce?
yeah but the tomato sauce is already highly reduced from a raw tomato, unlike a raw pineapple, which is a bag of water
Yeah and it's terrible
invented by a C*n*d**n
by that logic tomato, onions, peppers, and mushrooms are bad pizza toppings.
not that it makes pineapple on pizza any better.
pizza places putting raw mushrooms on their pizzas makes me irrationally angry. Just cook them off first so they don't weep, you bastards
It's the amount of water
