A dessert sauce is a different proposition to a chocolate sauce for cooking. It's formulated to stay pourable straight from a cupboard and to stay put once it lands, rather than to melt into something warm. Getting that right means balancing sugar and thickener. Too thin and it runs off ice cream into the bowl; too thick and it won't leave the bottle. The squeezy bottle exists because the viscosity is set for exactly that. It's also one of the few things in the dessert aisle that isn't frozen or chilled, which is why it lives in a cupboard rather than a freezer door.
