Fruits would still have developed because they are primarily a mechanism for seed dispersal rather than pollination. While animals (including insects, birds, and bats) can be agents of seed dispersal, many plants rely on other methods such as wind or water to disperse their seeds. The development of fruits is an adaptation to protect seeds and aid in their dispersal, not specifically for attracting pollinators.
