all they have to do is add more sugar to make up for the missing hazelnut

They already do. Compare the Nutella made in Poland to the one in Germany.

Regional taste preferences IMO.

Funny how those taste preferences are common for all of the countries behind the iron curtain. And somehow those preferences can be roughly summarized with less cocoa and less hazelnuts. Which are by coincidence the expensive ingredients.

Im from behind the iron curtain, but lived outside for most of my life now.

My impression is opposite - Lithuanians find western sweets too sweet and drinks there contain less sugar.
