Yeah, english is weird in so many ways (and not just the language).
Admittedly a lot of the language weirdness is because it's sourced from
so many different places. Pineapple however, is all their own doing:

<quote>
pineapple (n.)

late 14c., pin-appel, "pine cone," from pine (n.) + apple. The reference
to the fruit of the tropical plant (from resemblance of shape) is
recorded by 1660s, and pine-cone emerged 1690s to replace pineapple in
its original sense except in dialect. For "pine-cone," Old English also
used pinhnyte "pine nut." Pine-apple also was used in a late 14c.
Biblical translation for "pomegranate."

It's just not logical.
