In Material3, why TextFieldColors is not a data class ?
They seem to be implementing the equals method by hand.

if you don't need all the extra baggage of a data class, you can use a regular class and implement those 2 methods yourself (equals and hashCode). On top of that, libraries should stay clear of `data class`es as a general rule

Why using a data class in libraries is a mistake?

just because adding 1 variable in the future might break the code?
