So aggregates are whole different class of fruit?! I thought it would have been a subcategory

Yeah. If university bio has taught me anything it's that botany classifications are way more numerous, way more complex, and have way more exceptions than zoology classifications (not to undermine zoology of course, it's also super complicated). There's just far more diversity in how different plants accomplish the same things compared to how different animals accomplish them, which makes sense since plants are quite a bit older than animals and also have way more species.
