Mass production. Ability to use ‘less than perfect’ fruit. Inexpensive long term storage.

Fresh requires expensive climate controlled storage and shipment, people will only buy perfect looking fruit and a percentage will go bad in transit.

Frozen requires expensive refrigeration in manufacture, shipment and sale.

So canning is cheaper.
