Change Pineapple is Delicious to optional

Description

The support team has been getting badgered by people who don't understand why the option there is required

https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/?view=all and also in Slack.

While it is highly amusing, having it be required is causing unnecessary work for the support team. If we make it optional (and perhaps have a hover tooltip that explains the joke for ESL folks) would lower this. Support has better things to do than tell people "Yeah we have no idea why this was added either" and deal with the angry folks over the holidays. It makes it harder to help folks with real issues!

(Also some of us are allergic to pineapple, and have no idea if it's delicious or not, but assume it must be considering the prevalence...)
