I can honestly say that besides Pythagoras’ Theorem I have rarely (if ever) used any of those in real life.
But alot of the items you use everyday were invented or built using the science from these equations.

Absolutely, but very few folks ever need to use any of the others in their personal daily lives, while on a daily basis you’ll find carpenters using the “rule of 3-4-5” in construction. Many without even knowing what it is really called.

That's propaganda put out by Engineering departments.

Does Navier-Stokes have something to say about aircraft lift? Sure.

Were the Wright Bros. capable of solving the Navier-Stokes equation, let alone use it in developing the Wright flyer? No, or the very most, probably not.
