Barbec.....On pizza!? Who are you people? I guess it lessens the sweetness some to provide more of a balance? As the Taiwanese chef was discussing, the pineapple sweetness is strong and needs some mitigation to not overwhelm the other ingredients. Once that is done, it can be a good addition.
Both pineapple and BBQ sauce, which is basically ketchup with smoke, are sweet-sour. Pure tomato would make it too sour. I think the BBQ sauce maintains the sweet-sour balance (it only takes about 2 tbsp for a medium pizza) and adds the smoke.
