While yogurts in America are indeed way too sweet, sweet yogurt is definitely not just an American thing. I, also from somewhere in another hemisphere, never heard of "salty yogurt". (By sweet yogurt, of course people (American or not) normally don't "add sugar" on-the-fly. It is done during making the yogurts.)

No I don't think it's exclusively American, as I said I was familiar with fruit yogurts (which is basically yogurt + sugar + "fruit flavors"). My American roommates would add sugar to their yogurts "on the fly", like one of them added cane sugar, and the other added honey.

I'm from Bulgaria, and as kid my grandmother would add sugar, but then no longer. Some people put salt... Here are other things you can do: Just take yogurt and mix it with water 1:1 (or try different ratios) - shake it, or use a spoon - and make sure it's cold (tastes better). Now this drink can be found (usually persian stores), and some of it might have added salt. Then add some mashed garlic, cut cucumbers + some more things and you have TARATOR - https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/233760/bulgarian-tarator-cold-cucumber-soup/ https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/233760/bulgarian-tarator-c... - also some people like it more watery, some not. Then you have the greek Tzatziki, or if you like mousaka (greek, bulgarian, or any kind) you can have on the side yogurt to dress. Best is, but I avoid it now (due to my lowcarb diet) - BANITSA (or spanakopita, or similar) with it - or pastry. Or just have it as morning drink...

Adding salt to something sweet can make it taste sweeter and better. Try sprinkle a dash of flu de sel over your m deserts next time and watch them pop. Or a bit of salt on some strawberries before eating. Fact your saliva is about 0.04% saline so any food not at that level will taste a little bland.
