French supermarkets all have very large and wide selection of “free from” style products for allergies and intolerances - gluten free, milk free. Plus vegan and vegetarian. In fact it would put most supermarkets in the US to shame. I also expect that many cafes in Paris cater for people with allergies.
So it’s not that. More likely it’s a surly waiter, or a tourist asking for something which is not on the menu and being upset by the answer.
The milk goes through the coffee machine. If they do that they effectively need two machines (or sets of machines), one with lactose and one without. It’s not simply a question of having some oat milk in stock
