In Greece, eating feta cheese with watermelon(or melon) is somewhat common. You combine the sweetness of the watermelon with the saltiness of feta. And both things are cold.
Here in the south, and maybe elsewhere, we sometimes add a nice hunk of extra sharp cheddar on top of our apple pie for the same reason. Heck, any number of fruit plates will be served with cheeses, and vice versa.
Once you get into the sweet, salt, fat, acid combo, it really doesn’t matter what you use to get them.
To quote a great American show, “pork chops and applesauce”. “Hawaiian” pizza is just a different version of the same basic idea

In Italy, prosciutto with melon is pretty common. Sweet and savory as a combination is pretty common. See also: sharp cheddar on apple pie.
Yup, people who object to Hawaiian Pizza for any reason other than “it’s not for me” don’t really understand food.
Sharp cheddar cuts up my mouth something fierce.
Yup, and it’s yummy as hell.

Similar to a fruit bowl with cottage cheese.
