I guess that pattern made more people aware of FP and thus caused a new additional spike to it, and here we are with another wave of newly found FP enthusiasts that give more credit and value for it than it deserves. Especially if they're at the beginning of their programming career.
FWIW, I'll state again that I use Hooks. I write code just like the sample shown above. I have no problem with the general concept of Hooks. However, I do have a bit of annoyance over how I believe Hooks came to be.
The crowd that believes FP === puttingYourCodeInFunctions && allCodeInsideFunctions === FP was getting themselves in a tizzy over "standard" class-based components in React. On one hand, they sang the praises of "pure" functions and desired to get all of their React code into functions. On the other hand, there was much about React that you simply could not do inside a function declaration.
So they "solved" this by creating Hooks. Now, all their code could be inside those beauteous functions. And they never had to write another one of those scary class keywords again. And they could feel content in the (misplaced) knowledge that they were now truly writing in an FP style.
