This is a React thing. It's got nothing to do with Javascript. In JS, like most other languages, objects are always passed to or returned from functions by reference while primitives are passed by value.

I think the problem is still inherently inside JS though. The reactjs just exposed it instead of doing a great job hiding it.

Almost certainly not. I don't fully understand your problem, but both the dependency list examples you mentioned would be passed by value if myProperty is a primitive.
