A good sauce is not sweet in fact sugar is never added by the cooks/Chefs in Italy ,if they have told you that customers like it that way .... they are either lying to you or these people don't know the difference , are trying to camouflage a very acidic tomato brand , are using a cheap quality ,are lousy cooks and think that people eat anything put on front of them ... some do, mind you . Age as nothing to do with it , I would eat somewhere else from now on if I were you .
Rather than individual it may be cultural. I know with Chinese, Malaysian and Filipinos have many savoury dishes that are sweet. Sweet Filipino Spaghetti using banana ketchup comes to mind ( link provided ) where the sweet taste is delicious and very much preferred. Runny and thin sauce on the other hand does seem a little unusual, almost nursing home like to aid digestion. You may be onto something there...

my guess is that yes the sugar removes alot of the acidity. The thinness of the sauce is poor quality but the older clientele probably has much to do with it. I bet the sauce is pretty bland too.
