Not sure about some of your examples but any aircraft that is going to fly off a carrier deck has to be proofed against constant salt spray and have strengthened landing gear and fuselage structure because landings are much harder. (They come down fast and hard because they have a lot less space to stop.) If you tried to land an unmodified Air force F35 n a carrier you would likely write it off first time.
