Why would you think that? To me it sounds like a completely unbased opinion and goes agains everything that I read in the v3 documentation or in numerous discussions.

The Composition API is the last item in the API reference, the Options API is positioned much more prominently.

https://v3.vuejs.org/api/options-data.html

In the Guide, the Options API has its own section while the Composition API is nested within the "Advanced Guides" section.

If you check the React docs most examples still do not use hooks and we know how that turned out.

Agreed. That's generally how these things are introduced. It's a shame, because Vue as it currently stands, offers impressively simple answers, to many complicated UI development questions.
