If I type in “Sushi Paris” the top three results all show rolls as the primary item on the plates.

More than a little selection bias is in play there. You've found restaurants with advertising budgets, which in many places is not representative of restaurants overall. I'd wager the bias is even stronger in big tourist cities.

I checked other French cities and got the same results. Care to link me to a casual dining sushi restaurant that doesn't serve rolls in France?

No Just saying that you are incorrect is the way to go even here now.
