humans

is there any bigger "fuck you" moment in nature?

Yes, all parasitism ever.

Spicy plants have never had the population they do now, they domesticated us

plants adapted structures like capsaicin to outcompete each other, humans need to eat spicy food to augment the inflammatory system when something goes wrong with the immune system, typically in a response to the tripartite nature of the parasites: bacteria, fungi and viruses. almost all plants are human driven adaptors which we have been selectively breeding for many tens of thousands of years (like cats and dogs) OR they are parasitical on our existing chaotic selection process (like rats and seagulls).
all plants want to be eaten by animals because it helps their seeds reach new places much faster, some plants are wind adapted carriers and pollen spore producers, but the types of plants we eat are usually fruit-seed bearing and have been eaten and cultivated by primitive humans for a very long time.
the natural world is more symbiotic than competitive, and ecosystems are often in an open unstable equilibrium. (this means concepts from physics like thermodynamics, entropy and point-particle simulations are insufficient descriptors of weather, ecologies or species).

the overall trend is this: plants* evolved animals to better spread, both in the oceans and on land. dinosaurs were probably very fluffy to act as spore carriers when they brushed up against ferns (the dominant plants of that era).
>*seed bearing plants like the conifers led to the evolutionary niches that mammals exploited
this is not well understood yet because it requires a different approach that is still being developed, which is more grounded in networks with sparse and thin connections and how these networks stack on top of each other to form convolutions or loops. there is also the philosophical bias of having human understanding of the world always grounded in the latest useful human technological base (most of our naturalism was developed with heat engines and pumps in mind) and since AI, networks and connected data flows is what is currently powering the world civilization, it's only natural that we begin to perceive the world as a grid of connected interdependencies. it's a better approximation but probably also wrong.

Actually it's symbiotic evolution. Humans evolved to like spices because they didn't have food preservation capabilities and plants could spread wider than they ever could without humans.
Parasitism would mean that only other part would benefit, but clearly it benefits both.
Domestication would mean that plants did it mentionally.
