Totally this.
Pretty much every chain cafe roasts their beans to an inch of their life, to give them a generic “coffee” flavour profile.

To add to all this, if most of your customers are seriously there to taste their flavored syrups and milk of their favorite drink, you wouldn’t want to alter or even ruin that with unexpected, unique coffee flavors.

May as well add caffeine to a milkshake at that point …
