Side question: Why do people buy baguettes? Do they make sandwiches with them? How do you even make a sandwich from them? How are you meant to beat a baguette???

Which country? The ingredients of a sliced white loaf vary significantly across the planet. Here in Britain it’s (re)fortified with a lot of the things the bleaching process might otherwise take out, but those are pretty much the only additives. No sugar or preservatives. Keep a loaf in a warm cupboard for a week and it will visibly moulder.
But, one thing that generally doesn’t vary is the price.
It’s often the cheapest loaf by weight sold by any supermarket or bakery, so it’s a staple for a lot of people, weak sauce or not.
