Is it normal to have no publications after 2.5 years in a PhD program
One word. Yes ! It is absolutely normal. I am a doctoral student in, what is arguably a top 5 CS department/top 5 HCI program in the USA.

Is graduating with a PhD having not published anything ...
Most of the people I know from my dept (~60%) do not have publications upon graduation.

Starting my 4th year of PhD in STEM with no publication so far

4 Years in PhD. No publications and adviser keep changing my research
