Biology is all about survival and multiplying the species. Seeds are plants babies, the biological response is to make your babies aren't eaten! I think there's a book about this, probably Grain Brain, but I 'm not sure.

That eating a plant's babies is bad is easily false if my 6th grade education serves me: plants bear delicious energy rich fruit so animals eat them and spread the seeds via digestive system. poop.

Seeds are the babies, not the flesh. Nobody consumes fruits for seeds. Grains don’t need this mechanism, they are fine spreading by wind.
