That's your assertion, but you didn't back it up by anything other than saying you can insert into the middle of a list (which is rare to need and can be done with a sorted map).

Thus we can conclude the exact opposite of the assertion I was responding to

You can't conclude anything from someone making the same assertion with no evidence over and over.

Pragmatically what people use over and over are arrays and hash maps. There's a reason perl, python, lua and javascript all thrived by having arrays and hash maps built in to the core of the language.

If you want to loop through something or index by an offset you use an array. If you want to access by key, you use a hash map. In the rare scenario you need to insert into the middle of a specific order, use a sorted map. Modern programming has no place for basic linked lists of granular data and they aren't missed in any sort of real scenario.

If can back up what you're saying with any sort of evidence or a specific scenario, go ahead.
