It is there.

Do following: {M-x shortdoc-display-group RET list RET} for lists or
{M-x shortdoc-display-group RET string RET} for strings.

The above information within curly brackets are Hyperbole links, you
can activate them with packag Hyperbole by using M-RET

I can see that s.el has functions like `s-trim-left' and such
functions are in Emacs as `string-trim' and `string-trim-left' and so
on.

Function `s-collapse-whitespace' from s.el is in Emacs
`string-clean-whitespace'.

Function `s-split' is `split-string' in Emacs.

Function `s-lines' is `string-lines' in Emacs.

And so on, there are various functions that already exist in Emacs.

Just browse the `list' and `string' groups as above explained.
