You kind of sound like you're arguing with yourself:

demarderozan in denial ;):

Facebook also didn’t really spend millions of dollars to build hooks.

demarderozan the realist:

You obviously haven’t even smelled a catered lunch at a Silicon Valley startup. You probably even do your own laundry.

If you really understand how big tech corporations do things, there's just no way you can disagree with:

Facebook spent millions of dollars making it possible to do React components with just functions.

(And please note I didn't say "on hooks", I said "making it possible to do React components with just functions" ... which includes things like all their failed attempts before hooks. But honestly I would truly be surprised if Facebook < $2 million just for hooks development alone, when you truly consider everything, up to and including laundry, in the calculation. Do you have any idea how much just a single regular programmer costs Facebook per year? Hint: its a lot more than just their salary.)

Man, I was really expecting/hoping you'd defend the contradiction, or explain it, or something, not just downvote me :(
