Answer
When context value changes, all consuming components re-render, even those not using the changed fields, causing unnecessary work.
Quick Answer
Context triggers a re-render in every component that consumes it whenever the context value changes — even if the consumer only uses one field of the value. A large Context with many fields that update frequently causes widespread unnecessary re-renders. Split into smaller Contexts or use memoization strategies to limit propagation.
