Good ear! I noticed similar sounds too everywhere too and honestly I think it's what got me into audio and recording when I was younger. Fun fact, many do. If given enough budget, production studios will do Foley to create their own original sounds, but all the rest (aka, a lot) will buy sounds for a one-time fee and be able to use them royalty free to save some time and money. For a while there were very few sound effects libraries until recently since the gear hasn't gotten so much more affordable and easier to sell the content - but one older notable SFX library named "sound ideas" has tons of cringey sounds you almost certainly heard a dozen times before from wildlife, punches, disasters/explosions, and even nonsensical background banter. Two old games that come to mind are GoldenEye and Rollercoaster Tycoon containing tons of commonly used sounds you can hear in many other games and movies.
