Sure, I get your point. Redux, despite feeling like a global variable, does its magic via React's Context. Old mapStateToProps/mapDispatchToProps also had their mystery act, hiding context connections. We all saw that causing confusion and bugs. Spooky indeed, as Einstein would say!
But hey, even with those hidden states, things worked, didn't they? It was tricky, and those high order components were hard to understand, but they helped us manage state in big apps. Now, with Server components, things might get murkier, but it's also a chance to push boundaries, learn, and innovate. So, let's see where this wave takes us, eh? Change is always an adventure, after all!
