I do think that certain growers use a Brix score to tell when the fruit is ripe, i.e. at the peak of its development. I think that this may be especially important with growers of melons for example.
Posting a Brix score in a grocery store to show how nutritious the vegetables are just does not make sense to me. Even if you consider sugar to be a nutrient, the average person is not looking for a high sugar content and the nutrients that people are commonly interested in such as vitamins and minerals are not going to be measured by a Brix score.
