- [Hatch filled histogram](https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/lines_bars_and_markers/filled_step.html) Hatching in histograms is fully supported through matplotlib#28073. This is [now simple](https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/gallery/statistics/histogram_multihist.html#hatch) and does warrant a dedicated example. - [Percentiles in horizontal bar charts](https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/statistics/barchart_demo.html) This is a very complex example. But in the end, it's just a bar plot with annotations. While it is statistics-themed through the use of perecntiles, the plot itself has no statistics-related characteristics.

Agree on the hatched hist, but could the percentiles one make a decent tutorial if it was reworked or at that point is it basically the lifestyle of plot tutorial?
I don't see that the percentiles examples is a good basis for a tutorial. In short:
- It uses various plot elements. They are combined to to achieve a very specific visualization but it's rather a random collection of elements and methods, not a cohesive subset.
- TBH I find the visualization itself not very good. (Not going into details, because I don't want to start that discussion)
I'd claim, if you have something specific you want to show, you'd be better off with creating a suitable example from scratch.

See, I think that's a plus for a tutorial, but I also do see your point that messaging it into a good tutorial is probably not worth it - I'd probably extend the lifecycle tutorial rather than write new but that's probably the way to go.
I don't think this is worth backporting?

Hatch filled histogram
Hatching in histograms is fully supported through Add support for multiple hatches, edgecolors and linewidths in histograms #28073 . This is now simple and does warrant a dedicated example.
Percentiles in horizontal bar charts
This is a very complex example. But in the end, it's just a bar plot with annotations. While it is statistics-themed through the use of perecntiles, the plot itself has no statistics-related characteristics.
