NYC has five counties and still has some vestiges of county governance like sheriffs.

I don't think NYC does. Nassau County, yes - but that's outside of city limits.

Every borough is a county.

NYC is a city made up of 5 counties, whereas Los Angeles County is a county made up of several cities.

Every state does things differently, so I can see the confusion.
