I am currently most fond of mobx / mobx-state-tree which is a substantially different style but I am very much impressed by zustand as "take the redux style and do it really well".
There are enough different takes on how to state management that I am ... ambivalent ... about whether having a single official solution would in practice be better than the current situation. It's inevitably going to be a trade off and the react team not wanting to pull the trigger on such a thing until they're -really- sure is probably a good thing overall.
As a side note: I agree that useContext is weird, but jamming what (at least according to the mental model I use when working with it) is dynamic scoping into a language without native dynamic scope is probably always going to be at least somewhat weird.

Wait till you realize Zustand does not work on React 18's Concurrent Mode and istead must use Jotai (same author) ?
It's really bizarre to me how poorly useContext works, in contrast to how good everything else in React is for the most part. Having a good, "official" global state management solution that requires little boilerplate would be a huge benefit.
