How does the existence of hooks preclude you from using function components without state (without any hooks)?

They don't, but before I could look at a function component and go "ah, a nice stateless component" whereas now I have to wonder whether the _function_ contains _state_

If you see "useWhatever"... then it has a hook.

And you already have to wonder if a function has state if you didn't write it. If you did, you should know.
