For me (and I suspect a few other people working with react, but certainly not everyone), the main issue with hooks is exactly that class components were fine, and hooks are fine, and we did not need nor want more "fine".

Hooks feel more like something added to fill in space and another example of the ecosystem bloating itself just for show.

There’s things that are easier with hooks, but there’s also a lot that has become a bunch more magic.
