Why are inline ref callbacks or functions not recommended?

Inline ref callbacks or functions are not recommended because they can cause memory leaks in your application. When using an inline ref callback, the function is recreated on each render, which can result in a buildup of references that are not properly cleaned up by the garbage collector. This can lead to memory leaks over time. It is recommended to use the createRef() API or a callback ref defined outside of the component to avoid these issues.
