Criticism of using a single useState with an object in React components due to performance, readability, and scalability issues.
Using a single useState with an object causes unnecessary re-renders and hampers performance due to linking multiple state flags to a single memory reference.
Adopting useReducer for managing related states, especially booleans like loading flags, is recommended for better organization, predictability, and scalability.
While useState with an object may seem like a cleaner code approach, useReducer offers better control, scalability, and maintainability for components with multiple related states.
