The thing is fruit/vegetable is not a category in botany. Fruit exists, and it kinda has that definition, that it carries seeds, but that doesn’t serve to distinguish it from vegetables.
Fruit/vegetable is a culinary distinction, rather than a scientific one.

And this is the whole point of the controversy: The same word can have multiple meanings in different contexts and some people have trouble with that concept.
