Here are some pics of Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone itself with full hookups. Yes, the sites are close but at least there are trees. Some private parks are also close and don't have nearly the trees. Fishing Bridge is not perfect but it's just fine if you need hookups. Personally, we always choose other campgrounds within the park because of more space - but then, we're self-contained and we don't need hookups.
Yes, West Yellowstone might be 5 minutes from the west gate of Yellowstone. However, it takes a lot more than 5 minutes to enter the gate because of the lines of vehicles. Once you go through the gate you will still have a lot of slow driving to reach the next intersection in the park.
Everyone is different and that's good. Some like staying in the park for the scenic surroundings. Some like private campgrounds because of being close to shopping. To each his own.
