Now, I dislike fused operations because it goes against the DRY principle, the stream interface should be as simple as possible, Two different reactions: 1. Why do Streams combine function composition and aggregate computation when it would be simpler not to? (answer: prettier look-and-feel?) 2. Why does every other map-reduce framework support mapReduce? (answer: to reflect the fact that map-reduce is a fused concept for most people?)

I don't think Clojure as a mapReduce, neither Python nor Ruby. Of course, MapReduce exists as a programming model for distributed computing.
