and FreeBSD, they still are (as well as being builtins).
FreeBSD provides a convenient list of what commands are (currently) to the provided shells and available externally:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?builtin
Bash man page does as well along with command -v (and hash IIRC) letting

a POSIX compatibility stopgap older systems needed to stay compliant with
their shipped shell.
