In addition, out of sauces ketchup is really the odd one out, most normal sauces and dressings are not supposed to contain sugar at all.

There is a big gap between ‘supposed to’ and the real world. Pick up any bottled dressing at a typical grocery store, and sugar or corn syrup will likely be a top ingredient. See the totally unnecessary addition to ranch dressing, for example:

Or even if you are making your own, a surprising number have sugar or honey as ingredients.

Who decides what something is "supposed to" contain? Why is it relevant?
