This position is from the game

Fruit has no problem to evaluate it by static evaluation as advantage for white.

It has no "human" knowledge about bad trades.
Note that this is not the only explanation and Movei also has no human knowledge
about bad trades(it simply evaluates bishop and knight as more than 3 pawns so
it usually avoid bad trades) and it seems that fruit simply has superior
knowledge about pawn structure.
