It’s a basic data structure. I have been able to pass these questions without a formal University education just on logic alone. It’s just basic usage of objects in the case of a JavaScript implementation.

20 years of software development, I don't remember the last time that I actually encountered a linked list in the wild.

Just because you would make a linked list via objects doesn't mean that anyone would actually do it.
