If you ask a random sampling of Redux users why they're using it, you'll get tons of different answers. Some people use it as a caching layer. Other people use it because their SSR solution requires it. Other people use it because they like the action-command pattern. Other people just use it because they see it as the "M in MVC" and consider it mandatory in their projects. Other people just use it because it's the default. Some people use it for more than one reason.

If something else comes along and fits one of those niches, it's no wonder people will get interested in it. It was the same with Apollo. A lot of projects replaced Redux with it.

And to answer your question: some people are moving to hooks because of useReducer. Others because of useContext. Others because they can create custom Hooks. Some because of third-party hooks. Others for a mix of those.
