Because you always have it in a container, you can't just leave a pile of sugar in your kitchen drawer expecting nothing to happen to it.
True, but here's more.
Sugar has a moisture content of about 2/100ths of a percent, way too low for bacteria to survive. As long as it is kept dry it will remain unspoiled.

∙ 13y agoSugar is a mineral, therefor the bacteria or mold can't set. It's the same reason why you don't see moldy diamonds or rubies.

Honey doesn't spoil. (Although it does get grainy, it's still edible.) The grain quinoa was found stored in Inca ruins and was still usable. (But I'm not sure if by "usable" they meant it produced plants when planted or if people actually ate it as is.)
Why do strawberries spoil fast?
Strawberries spoil quickly because they have a high moisture content, thin skin, and high sugar content.
What does not spoil even though it is exposed to bacteria?
Foods such as salted pork, strawberry preserves, and sweet pickles do not spoil when exposed to bacteria because of their cells and its sugar and salt content. When cells have enough salt or sugar, the cell membrane (which is selectively permeable) does not allow salt or sugar into the cell and therefore does not allow bacteria into the cell. Hence, the food does not spoil.
