From the linked article: Components are more powerful, but they have to render some UI. This makes them inconvenient for sharing non-visual logic. This is how we end up with complex patterns like render props and higher-order components. But this is a problem with how some applications are using React, where they make everything a React component. You don't need to make everything a React component. In the MVC model only things that put stuff on the screen need to be React components. You are saying Hooks are better than controllers--and maybe they are. But when the problem is stated as in the above paragraph, then it is not obvious that Hooks are the solution. Maybe the problem should be stated better.
