This is also partially due to more cells in the garlic being crushed and the intracellular compounds reacting with things on the outside.

Vegetables are trying to kill us so we won't eat them

Eat them raw and you can taste their screams

Or are they trying to be so delicious that we cultivate, spread, and ultimately keep their species alive?

No, they were trying to kill all the mammals but failed successfully because naked apes love mildly toxic substances for some reason and started mass reproducing them instead.

Humans prefer pain to boredom, on average. I remember reading about a study where subjects were left alone in a room with a button that shocks themselves (they were warned what it does) and they would eventually shock themselves just because there's nothing else in the room.
