You are

a slot machine for gambling electronic games.

I have an arm but not a leg.

One colloquial term for these machines is "one-armed bandits".

I like fruits but I don't eat healthy.

Another is "fruit machines".

I can spin but I can't jump.

They often have spinning reels.

The title might refer to the fact that

many people love playing on these machines but hate the inevitable loss of money that results.

Trying something different.

You are a

Business subsidiary / division

I have an arm but not a leg.

Google definition of arm: a branch or division of a company or organization.

I like fruits but I don't eat healthy.

A division that makes fruit flavored chocolates (not healthy)

I can spin but I can't jump.

Spin-offs are divisions of companies or organizations that then become independent businesses with assets, employees, intellectual property, technology, or existing products that are taken from the parent company. Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_spin-off

  But they can have different "legs", in the same way they have different "arms". Also the fruit clue makes no sense.
