You sound like a horticulturist when you dismiss a plant as being a hybrid.
They always confuse cultivars with hybrids.

If Ananas comosus is a hybrid, what are the parent species?

There are more than one species in the genus Ananas, so you have a few to
choose from!

A key question is the concentration of such enzymes in the fruits of
the wild progenitors. The present properties of pineapples have been set
by selection in cultivation.

Addendum: the pineapple likely is a hybrid
