There is almost 4gr of sugar in a tablespoon of ketchup.That is more sugar than in a cookie. Not sure what your point is?

Yeah, if you're slathering ketchup on everything you eat, morning-noon-and-night, you're not doing yourself any favors.
But if you use ketchup to dip some fries, or go alongside your scrambled eggs, every now and again? You're fine.
*Just like cookies are fine sometimes!*
Moderation. Balance. Did I just blow your mind?
If you're counting carbs you learn that the little things add up. You may not want to waste your carbs on stupid things like ketchup or sweetened creamer. You may prefer a sugar free bbq sauce to a sugary one.
Of course, people who are eating fries aren't going to worry about a little thing like carbs in ketchup. Might as well enjoy them, right?
I never count carbs/calories. That's obsessive and food-focused and not how healthy/normal/slender people eat, and I'm a healthy/normal/slender person.
Do I have fries and ketchup at every opportunity? No. But when they sound extra-good, I have them. I don't plow through a whole serving mindlessly; I stop when I'm satiated. Sometimes, that means I eat almost all of them. Sometimes, that means I eat less than half of them. They're not evil, they're not going to bring me a deep sense of comfort--they're just fries.
Do I grab a pedestrian-looking bagel off the conference spread just because it's free, and it's there? No. But if a colleague brings in specialty bagels that look or smell particularly delicious, you bet I'm having one--and again, that could just mean half.
