I agree. I do not envy people struggling through the adoption curve of using Hooks. I don't know enough about them to know how to "fix" them, nor do I have the time to care about that problem - but I would love to see a different syntax, abstraction, or some kind of guard rails around them. I might be wrong, but it has always felt like scope & hoisting are the primary language features that hooks operate on... both features that I prefer to avoid. Adopting them seems to require the same leap of faith that is required with something far more complex like early angular versions. The "I don't get it but I'll just follow the rules" kind of vibe... But the web community seemed to understand and fall in love with Rx a few years ago, so I'm sure hooks can become more well understood, too.
