They definitely are a thing here in Switzerland. I grew up on coffee yoghurt from Coop, basically!
Unfortunately it is. There may be some areas where it wasn’t popular so got discontinued, but those flavors are available in the markets up here in New Hampshire. I don’t like tangy coffee so a yogurt in coffee flavor would be awful. As a chocoholic I try every kind of chocolate because, well, it’s chocolate! Chocolate yogurt by any company is just terrible. I keep wanting to like it but it just doesn’t work. Unlike cream & sugar based ice creams, yogurt’s tanginess just doesn’t work well with yogurt.

Ciobani, Oikos and Dannon make coffee and chocolate flavors. The first two are Greek-style yogurts, Oikos being a Dannon product.
There are also some store brands available. You may have to go outside of your normal shopping routine to find them.
You mean this? It’s been available in the New York area my entire life. There is nothing boutique about mass-produced Dannon.
I have seen chocolate, but not a lot and haven’t tried it.
Here’s the chocolate!

Actually coffee yoghurt is on the market. See boutique yoghurts:
