Fruits of course have health benefit, but *depending on the fruit* may not be terribly calorically dense. A high level bodybuilder (think Jordan Peters here, as an excellent example) is not going to be able to get in his desired peri-workout carbohydrate consumption terribly easily by eating fruit (alone).
(As a secondary note, if he ere to try to do this, he could end up eating something like a dozen oranges or another fruit with high free radical quenching ability, which can impair training adaptations, e.g., if folks are megadosing things like vitamin C.)

Funny, when we discussed about not taking vitamin c around workout time it was laughed at on T-Muscle....
