But there is no reason to not just use the standard dessert, and in most cases, the whole standard tray setup except for the entree. Also, I know for a fact that your theory does not always hold because I've traveled with someone when I have order the dairy vegetarian and they ordered the non dairy vegetarian and we were still given different desserts from each other.

My opinion is that they serve fruit because there is a perception that people are vegetarian for health reasons and that people who choose to eat vegetarian would prefer a healthier dessert. For me, this is actually true, though I often don't like the fruit.
