No there is no selective pressure that confers an advantage to those who do taste it.

<h3>What is PTC?</h3>

Despite the fact that PTC isn't found in nature, tasting other bitter substances—many of which are toxins—that do occur naturally has a high correlation with taste sensitivity.

In order to defend themselves from being eaten, plants develop a range of harmful substances. Early humans developed the capacity to distinguish bitter tastes as a safeguard against ingesting dangerous plants. There are roughly 30 genes in humans that produce bitter taste receptors. People may taste a large variety of bitter substances because each receptor can interact with a number of different molecules.
