It feels very standard, don't all language have it in their standard libs?

C# has all of this + LINQ (very handy list comprehension?)

Java probably too + it has streams

Idk about other

Many do. However, ease of use is an issue.

Some interviews don't allow you to look up the names of types & methods nor use IDEs that provide pop-up lists of types & method names.

You have to everything in a basic editor w/o IDE support.
