Why is having too many states in a component problematic?

Junior React
Quick Answer Too many useState calls in one component usually mean the component does too many things. Each state update re-renders the entire component. Hard to reason about which state drives which behavior. Split into smaller components, group related state with useReducer, or move derived values to useMemo instead of storing them as separate state.

Answer

Too many states cause unnecessary re-renders, tightly coupled logic, and reduced component reusability.
