As you say, not all things are universal. Data structures, however, are based on principles, such as divide and conquer, that you may well argue transcend the human condition.
Yes it can be argued, but the argument would be unproductive: either idealizations correspond to fundamental conditions in the universe or they are merely artifacts of human perception. But we would know only when we meet intelligent non-humans, and not before.

Once again, the philosophers are stuck in a busy-loop, waiting for empirical evidence to sweep their debate away into the tedious realm of science.
