Your link describes a data structure and then just says "systems that use it" which is implied. Of course it gets used. Seems tautological.

I will need citation on which link, and how it defines ECS as a data structure.

From [1]:

> Entity component system (ECS) is a software architectural pattern. An ECS consists of entities composed of data components, along with systems that operate on those components.

From [2]: > ECS ("Entity Component System") describes a design approach which promotes code reusability by separating data from behavior. Data is often stored in cache-friendly ways which benefits performance.
