If you just store it in a const and remove any updates to const, how does it update categories? Or is it because arrays are objects?
const
categories
categories is created new in every render cycle by computeCategories. After that, we don’t update it at all. Every time data changes, React will re-render and thus call computeCategories again - giving us a new Array of categories.

Oh I didn't know React rerenders the entire component for a state change. Thanks for the explanation!
