asynchronous state management fits better. In react, we often need to use useEffect along with useState to store and/or display asynchronous data. Depending on your requirements, you will face some issues that will consume more of your time to solve: infinite loops, component not re-rendered, etc. React query is great to not worry about those common issues, so you can move faster.
