Some aren't but for pickles like the dill, it's because they've been extremely marinated (soaked) in a dill, which is quite a sour spice

Not to be disagreeable, but the dill is actually a very rich, green flavor. It is the vinegar in the brine that actually provides the sour notes.

Part of the pickling process with vinegar.

A bit more:Vinegar is what gives pickles the tart, tangy taste. Salt, which is also used in the pickling process, is what gives them the salty taste.
