In my language we have genders for every noun. But it is trivially deducted from the spelling/pronunciation of that noun.

Is the gender of yogurt under debate in Germany? I am only aware of Nutella and butter. Yogurt was always male.

According to Duden, Joghurt may have any gender. I agree with you though that it should be der Joghurt. Edit: It seems like die/das Joghurt is mostly used outside Germany.
