For the ones that don't have sugar added (either by the consumer or the manufacturer), I can see why it less obvious. These are just pure carbohydrate (starches or complex sugars). Milk is added to them which contains lactose (sugar). Both of these things will make them far closer to a sweet dish than a savoury dish.
Why are there no savory cold cereals?
Savory as opposed to sweet.

Please explain to me how these cereals are not savoury?

To be defined as savoury it doesn't mean it is just 'not sweet' it needs to also be spicy or salty (actually taste salty as a lot of sweet foods can have salt added). These cereals may not have sugar added but the fruit content makes them naturally sweet (maybe not to your preference, but by definition they have sugar).For the ones that don't have sugar added (either by the consumer or the manufacturer), I can see why it less obvious.

Yes fruit does have a naturally occurring sugar in it called sucrose, but it is not as bad as cane sugar that typically gets added to cereals. Diabetics can eat fruits, so there shouldn't be a problem with muesli, even though they have raisins in it.

The original question isn't about if it is a problem but whether it is savoury. Do you consider a bowl of grapes a sweet or savoury snack? I think most people wouldn't consider it a savoury snack.

I've done it again. Not understanding what people are talking about.

Because sugar is a cash crop, and cash crops are addictive. As they are addictive, they make food manufacturers and retailers a lot of money compared to other foods.
