If you accept the Law of Excluded Middle, everything either has a
matroid structure, or not.  On the other hand, if you do not accept
it, then there may be some combinatorial algorithms which have neither
(because we have not found a matroid structure, or proved one does not
exist).  Either way, I do not understand the point of your question.
