Why would you use that instead of a state class for the entire screen?
That seems like a shared ambient variable aka a global from the description of it..

Hmm, I guess the way @State is managed in SwiftUI vs Compose's concept of state may mean @Binding isn't needed/applicable in Compose

I'd say the equivalent to Binding in SwiftUI is MutableState. Swift is different here because they are using value types for so much. Because SwiftUI's State is a value type they, can't just pass a reference to it, so Binding is effectively that reference. While in Compose you just pass the MutableState down to nested Composables, either directly, or as the get/set pair.

I also wonder to what extent proper use of "state hoisting" avoids need for this approach as well
