Uh no. The pineapple was a sensation when it was brought back by Columbus. Wealthy people then had a greenhouse arms race to try to cultivate it in Europe. Because it was super expensive and a luxury it became a symbol of wealth with ridiculous schemes like renting a pineapple for your party to show off or buying one and having it sit as long as possible. Decorative Architecture then incorporated the pineapple as a symbol of hospitality and that is why you see lots of pineapples pop up in architecture.
