For whatever reason, we in North American have gotten used to a lot
of foods having sugar in them -- especially prepared foods from
food factories.
I don't like it, but it seems to have spread over the last 40, or
so, years.

I'm wondering if it's because of:

1. Baby foods with sugar added to them to make them more palatable to
mother and baby

and/or

2. Sugar-frosted breakfast cereals targeted at kids

Good grief! Is sugar allowed in baby foods in the USA?

Allowed, yes. However, some brands make it a point of advertising that
they don't add it.
