> Hooks definitely build a complex data structure

But you don't. It is react that builds the datastructure in the background, not you that builds and controls it. Hooks might be declarative, but this is actually orthogonal to being pfp or not.

All of that is totally fine btw., there is no need for everything to follow a pfp style. It's a tradeoff. But we shouldn't call something pfp that isn't, even if it is closely related.
