There is no benefit to the plant other than to attract animals. The sweetness is sugar, and that sugar could be put to use elsewhere, such as in repair of damaged tissue, faster growth, storage for winter and early spring, metabolism/respiration/energy, or in making defensive compounds and/or structures. The plant sacrifices investments in all of these to give sugar away to frugivores that spread seeds, because darwinian fitness demands not just survival and growth,
