Design patterns are not algorithms or data structures. Putting design patterns in to your statement then pulling them out does not make evidence DS&A help choose design patterns (specifically singleton)
software design pattern is a general, reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem within a given context in software design.
Software design usually involves problem solving and planning a software solution. This includes both a low-level component and algorithm design and a high-level, architecture design.
There you go. The creation of software design patterns are due to tried and tested architectures and algorithms.
Also the design patterns is only prominently apparent in the community using a rigid programming language. I've never heard people using languages like rust and python having long-running discussion about design pattern.
Heck even someone joked that the only design pattern in fp programming language is function, which is somewhat true based on my experience working with fp heavy project.
"More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data."

We agree on the definition.

So now the question is, is a singleton an algorithm or architectural design?
Which do you think?
Architecture.
