Hooks are used for abstracting component state logic. React is just as agnostic concerning how you implement your business logic as ever.
I agree that the pattern of "services" is a good one. But you don't really need Angular's DI for this in javascript. You can just use an ES6 module.

Unless you care about the scope/lifecycle of the service. Or want to easily replace its implementation in different contexts (like tests).
For Context, like you said, it existed before, but everyone was told not to use it. After the new API came out, people started suggesting ditching Redux for Context, and I know a lot of people did that. Using Context in that way is very similar to creating a stateful service in Angular and injecting it into your components.
