I think this is exactly why we shouldn't implicate chili_pepper to fruit just like we shouldn't implicate watermelon to berry. Sure it's botanically correct, but I doubt someone searching for berry wants to see watermelons? Same for chili pepper/fruit.
You can't compare the two. I mentioned the watermelon fun fact BECAUSE it's so different to what most people call berries. The word "fruit" is much broader in everyday speech and chili peppers don't differ nearly as much. Chili pepper results under fruit would be a lot more relevant to the person browsing than watermelon under berries. Unless the average person would consider chili peppers a vegetable? If we can have fictional fruit imply fruit we can definitely have chili peppers.
I'm not just latching on to botany here, chilis and bananas are both technically berries, but they shouldn't imply "berry" because they are not what people are looking for. Most people just consider "berry" to be small fruits. Chili peppers aren't nearly as different from the everyday use of "fruit" as they are to the everyday use of "berry".
(Side note, the wording here makes it sound like I'm getting really worked up over fruit. I just wanted to point out that isn't the case, I'm just trying to specific)
Even the wiki for the fruit tag goes as follows:
Any sweet, edible part of a plant that resembles seed-bearing fruit. An apple for example.
Tag can cover all types of fruit when there is an abundance of individual fruit in the image.
and the chili pepper entry
A very spicy fresh or dried fruit. Comes in a variety of colors, red being the most known.
For a bell pepper that is colored red, see red pepper.
Used in antojitos and many Mexican recipes.
Also for anyone curious for shits and giggles about what is and isn't a berry botanically: Spoiler alert strawberries are not berries.
