I am not Swiss, but Swiss websites seem to use the comma as decimal
separator; e.g. ebay.ch, websites of various banks, nestle.ch.

Are you sure you can do, for example, online banking in Switzerland
using a point as a decimal separator? I wouldn't have thought so.
Swiss keyboards, after all, seem to have a comma on the number pad,
not a point.
