Why useState instead of useRef?

[steeeee0223]

Are there any specific reasons that it uses useState for creating a ref-like object instead of using useRef?
react-table/src/index.ts

It follows react's lint rules better. The other option is to mutate the ref during first render. This also somewhat guarantees that the table object is read only.
