historically: Diet Coke turned out to appeal mostly to women (for all the ads showing hunky construction workers guzzling them for morning tea). They needed a Bloke Coke to sell to men. Hence the marginally different taste, but hip black cans so male drinkers wouldn't look like wusses trying to keep their weight down.

// The key difference between diet coke and coke zero is a single chemical.
While Zero Sugar features sodium citrate in its list of ingredients, Diet Coke contains citric acid.//

Indeed, by changing the formula they alter the taste slightly and research will tell them whether that taste may appeal to a different section of consumers.

The companies are selling water with chemical flavourings and chemical sweeteners. There is no nutrition in them. And there are people in the advertising and manufacturing industries who feel happy doing that job.
Terrible that people can get any satisfaction (apart from feeding their kids or themselves) from workng in such an industry.

Pepsi Max is the best
