Is there any reason to use useIntl hook in react-intl v3.x?

If we read the documentation react-intl, only benefit of using it by importing is when you want to customized the hooks. Otherwise the way you are using it I don't see any problems.

We recently updated react-intl from version 2.x to 3.3.2, which meant that we could remove the injectIntl HOC in all files that used any of the format-functions.
Now in v3, we create the intl instance in a separate module and wrap our app in a RawIntlProvider that we provide with this intl object.
Is there any reason to use the useIntl hook provided by react-intl instead of just importing the intl object straight from our created module?
// useIntl hook const Component = () => { const intl = useIntl(); intl.formatMessage({}); }; //How we use it atm. import intl from 'utils/intl'; const Component = () => { intl.formatMessage({}); };
