So close, but not quite right.
You get free snacks at the office for the same reason people sitting at slot machines get free drinks - because someone wants you to stay there.

Also, encouraging workers not to spend time out of the building is not so healthy, physically and mentally.
And it's not meant to be a perk. It's mean to keep people glued to the chair.
There is a _lot_ of sugar in fruit. A medium sized apple has as much sugar as 8oz of Coca Cola.
The sugars in fruit are very simple, which is good and bad. They tend to spike blood sugar very quickly, but also drop back to baseline fairly quickly.
Now, there is lots of good nutritional stuff in fruit also, of course, but you could absolutely develop diabetes from eating fruit.
I genuinely would like to see how strong the evidence actually is for someone getting diabetes from raw fruit[1]. Especially when compared to other sources such as sugary drinks etc. My uneducated guess is that we should be able to look at primates with high fruit consumption and we'd instantly see massive diabetes populations. I doubt this is true. It would be a stretch at best.
[1] I should at this stage assert the non-inclusion of anything processed either. I'm not counting fruit juice for example. Juicing is not the same as eating the actual fruit. Less effort so the digestion process changes. Commercial juices are even worse.
