As for Lindt, milk and white chocolates are rather small portion of their portfolio [1], and at least here in Switzerland it looks accordingly in the shops - these 'artisanal' types take 80-90% of the shelves and overall are bought more than basic milk/white ones. Personally, these days if I buy then only dark one with sea salt. Fun fact - there is stark difference between Lindt made in Switzerland and the ones made in EU (had ones from France and Germany, you have to look for fine print in the back since overall design is same). Swiss-made I found unsurprisingly only in Swiss supermarkets, with the price being 50-100% higher than the same in EU supermarkets, but the taste is much, much better. I guess higher quality coca beans are used but not sure here. They are so good that I don't seek out local/foreign artisanal chocolate anymore, since every single one of them simply doesn't compare (apart from price which can be even significantly higher). Over the years, I've tried many. But this is obviously highly subjective and true only for variants of dark chocolate, I don't buy other types.
