When tomatoes, olives, capsicum and zucchini are 'fruit' then the definition isn't serving it's purpose for anyone discussing cooking or eating or procuring those things. It's a different meaning of the word that's useful in particularly narrow settings but useless outside of those settings. The only reason people like to repeat the claims of 'technically a fruit' for various vegetables, outside of the context of maybe agriculture or scientific research or horticulture is because it's amusingly counterintuitive and contrarian which is exactly why it should be disregarded.
