8. Conclusion: Don't Be a Delivery Guy
Components should follow the Single Responsibility Principle.
Don't make them act as delivery guys for someone else's data.
Next time you write props, if you're going 3 levels deep, STOP.
If close: Just use Props. (1~2 levels is fine).
If a UI Widget: Use Compound Components.
If middle components suffer: Consider Composition first.
If global:
Simple? Context API.
Complex? Zustand or Jotai.
Eliminating Prop Drilling will make your code much more readable and flexible.
