Hidden Stevia

Okay maybe I'm imagining it, but I feel like way too many foods here just entirely replace regular sugar with stevia or some other kind of low calorie sugar. I hate the taste of low calorie foods so I avoid any "zero" products. But I've purchased so many drinks (like teas or the bag drinks from CU) that have no mentions of diet on them and then I taste and get a wave of the stevia taste.

I bought a couple of coffee syrups on coupang with regular packaging, so I tasted one and there it was. I checked the back and in very tiny fond was "Stevia Extract". Is stevia not seen as a diet product here? Should I just double and triple check ingredients?
