Because salty and sweet go together.

Same reason ham and pineapple are god tier pizza toppings.

But the flavour combination came before the era when people slathered food with salt. pork and apple is a commoners combination

Flavor contrasts often pair well, that's all it is. Cucumber goes well with a lot of salty foods too because of its light and refreshing flavor.
