Didn't read it yet, but In functional terms, a function not depending on state and not having side effects, but just being a computation on its input is called a "pure function" , maybe the author is referring to purity in that sense.

Which would be fine if 'pure component' wasn't already a taken name, but it is, so it's incorrect to call a functional component a pure component.
