Well, std::list is something you can create with C++ code (and likely is in most implementations of C++?), it doesn't need any special support. So I can see why someone might not treat std::list as any more special than a tree datastructure supplied by a different library?

However, algebraic data types really make your life easier, and more languages should have them.
