Complex answers there due to bioavailability, combinations, and palatability. Cow liver has lots of vitamin A but it is liver. Carrots have a lot of A if you eat good fats with them. Sea Buckthorn has more than you need but you also get v.C and lots of other nutrients and it’s a candy.
Well it’s just a major part of many primate species’ diets, including hominids. Your mileage may vary depending on gut flora etc but humans eat a lot of fruits in general.

Also as primates we are built for fruit.
Complex indeed.
Could you explain a bit more about what being “built for fruit” means? Built more for fruit than other things or just built to “handle” it?

Just because we do as humans doesn’t mean it’s the most nutritious. Look at the diet of koalas for example.
