I was not specifically talking about hooks being "bleeding edge" in 2025. I know when they were first released, and I don't need that techsplained to me.

I'm speaking more generally about the trend of chasing "new, shiny" in front-end. Some people knee-jerk and just go for the "new, shiny" thing as soon as it happens. And other people still use the existing tech, because it's good enough.
