@Zangetsu Ichirin Good question. Thank you for pointing it out.

The useEffect Hook doesn't satisfies all conditions for a Constructor. It is run once, and only once, for the entire life-cycle of this component.

The problem is that it still runs after the component is rendered. And of course this is what we are expecting to happen since this is cleary stated in the Hooks documentation:

"By default, effects run after every completed render."
