Why useStyles is not a hook?

[dy]

According to react convention, components starting with use- prefix are hooks. That's a bit confusing that this component is called like hook but indeed it is not.

Would be nice to just

props => {
let classes = useStyles({
root: {...},
secondary: {...}
})

return <div className={classes.root}></div>
}

useStyles is not a hook because it was created before React released Hooks.

There is useCss hook though, which does Virtual CSSOM.
