> because the UI itself doesn't hold any state.

...which isn't actually true in most immediate mode UI frameworks. They absolutely do persist state between frames. That state is just on the other side of the API invisible from the API user.

'Immediate mode UI' is only an API design philosophy, it says nothing about what happens under the hood.
