    The query should be this:

    SELECT
      id
    , (MAX(CASE fruit WHEN 'Pear' THEN counter   END) IS NOT NULL)  AS Pear
    , (MAX(CASE fruit WHEN 'Orange' THEN counter END) IS NOT NULL)  AS Orange
    , (MAX(CASE fruit WHEN 'Apple' THEN counter  END) IS NOT NULL)  AS Apple
    FROM w_counter
    GROUP BY
      id
    -- out id|Pear |Orange|Apple
    -- out  1|true |true  |false
    -- out  2|true |false |true
