Every large scale C code base I have worked on has had these things, and they were used as you say all over the place. If I were to encounter a code base that didn't have these things I would wonder why it was written in C in the first place.

Conversely, I have only seen arrays being used, and never linked lists/hash maps in the few embedded code bases I have worked on.

And I have run across, and implemented, both linked lists, and arrays, in embedded systems. The implementation depended on what made the most sense for the particular problem being addressed.
