why do toddlers almost universally hate vegetables, when they are so essential for our nutrition?

Why is it that almost all toddlers around the age of 2-3 have a tendency to just want carbs and hate vegetables? Especially green vegetables? I know that toddlers are fussy, like to control things, and are afraid of new foods. But why is it almost universally vegetables that they hate, when they’re so essential for our nutrition?

I feel like most toddlers’ first experiences with vegetables is when they are in their raw form (especially broccoli) so when they are faced with it later on, no matter how it is presented to them, their first experience is the basis to how they treat and react to it.
