No idea, but why is it so hard to believe? A typical jarred sauce is
made from low quality tomatoes (which have little flavor) because they
know they will be adding a ton of sugar and salt and a tiny amount of
seasonings.

You can prove it to yourself. Make a simple marinara (good canned
tomatoes, olive oil, onion and garlic) and compare. The one you made
will have at least 100 times the flavor of the jarred sauce.
