Lots of plants contain DMT and lots of plants contain MOAI. They probably found a weaker or less pleasant combination by accident first, and then once they knew what they were looking for kept experimenting until they found the best version.

There is no "best version" there are many reported with variations of the MAOI or DMT source and with other additives. Species of the Solanaceae familly, such as Brugmansia, being the most commons. But there are also some Ilex species containing caffeine for example.
