not sure i understand you correctly, but keeping all state external just clutters up the store i feel. if the state is not used anywhere else and you also don't need to change it externally i would not move state out of the component. also if your state is always outside of your component they will only be reusable if you hook up the store in all your projects the same way

Nah you can get reusability by creating shared components that you just pass props into.
For example, you can have a date picker that just accepts variables to display the current state and parent component that reads data from the store and passes it into the date picker component.
This method is also great for debugging, since you can just replay the state transitions over again if there is an application error. If the component holds the state, then it can be cumbersome to reproduce the error.

a date picker would be super annoying to use if you would have all the state in the store. that are probably 40 variables. assume you open the date picker can can move threw the tabs of the month and you are not interested in changing this from outside.
if you have no state in the component that would not be possible. you can also not wrap this with an other component that can hold this state because you don't want components with state. that means all behaviour that requires state would have the state in the store this will just be crazy
