“Long lists of generic hooks” is a symptom of devs not having climbed the difficulty curve a bit further, to where they are writing custom hooks, and using fewer in each component, IMO.

It’s understandable to stumble into this difficulty though, and a bit of deceptive marketing on the part of the hooks folks. They should be upfront that using hooks well in a real app requires a lot of careful thinking of the kind that many “typical” programmers do not have much practice in, and then the maintenance of whatever code comes from the effort. The functional-programming-mindshare situation seems to be improving slowly, but still.
