Youngs modulus is an intrinsic material property. You could find 100 types of 20mm 1m long steel bars and hang 10 kg off them and they would all deflact the same, to be clear that includes tool steel, knife blade steels, barrel steel #8 wire etc.
You are correct that no one would use pure al to something (well most things).
Also 7000 series alloys are not necessarily harder or stronger than 6000 series or 2000 series, depends on how it is aged and mechanical deformation
