Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

For the dishwashing liquid, it might be that real lemons are used, as real lemon juice contains citric acid which has properties which make it very good as a cleaning agent, properties which are unlikely to be within the synthesised chemical which simulates the lemon taste.
