The simplest data structures are pairs (A, B) and Option<T>.

Wouldn't call those data structures. Those are data types.

They are structured data. The restriction of the term "data structures" to what's asked in interview puzzles is ridiculous IMHO.

Edit: and even among "interview puzzle data structures", stacks and queues have much simpler semantics than linked lists.
