Pigs were thought of as fat. If you look back 100 years or so, you'll notice hogs with a much higher percentage of body fat. That's because they were bred that way. Hog fat gets rendered into lard...Folks didn't have Crisco back in the 19th century. Or you might use lard to make soap, although it doesn't do as well as beef tallow.
The leaner breeds came about because of public demand and marketing.
