They use pears because they're cheap, sweet, and mild flavored - you can cover up the flavor of pear without a lot of work, and it's solid instead of just being corn syrups (HFCS and standard CS). It has nothing to do with the flavor of pear being anywhere remotely close to natural or artificial strawberry.
... you haven't been smelling the right strawberries then. They do have a smell and it's awfully delicious too. Mouth watering. And nothing like all that artificial strawberry scented crap.
I feel like there is a good amount of vanilla in strawberry flavor. One time when I was taking my shirt off to take a shower I smelled strawberry. I was confused for a little bit but then I remembered I dripped some vanilla ice cream on my shirt.
