yes, as per your last question, a pear is just a pear, but if 2, then you have a pair of pears.
Do you have a fetish about then lol

Yes, because it has two sides (left and right), making the pear have a pair of sides. A related question is why are trousers called a pair of pants when there is only one piece of clothing? A single leg is not called a pant.
