No, they are tools that help in that activity: the stick helps in
walking, the hat helps thinking.

By contrast, those patterns don't "help" destructuring in any way I
could spot.

In any case, even if we can find some convoluted justification for
"destructuring patterns", I think it's worth our while to try to look
for better terminology that doesn't need so many words to explain it,
but instead speaks for itself.
