Who knew

The U.S. state of Alaska is divided into 19 organized boroughs and one "Unorganized Borough". Alaska and Louisiana are the only states that do not call their first-order administrative subdivisions counties (Louisiana uses parishes instead)

I thought it was interesting. Grew up thinking Louisiana was the only US state that didn’t use counties.

That is just shitty education.
New York doesn’t use it exclusively either.
(Edit, I love how you had a life long misconception proven wrong, but you doubled down on it and assumed a given exception was the one one.)

Five of New York's counties are each coextensive with New York City's five boroughs and do not have county governments. They are: New York County (Manhattan), Kings County (Brooklyn), Bronx County (The Bronx), Richmond County (Staten Island), and Queens County (Queens).
