If you buy a new bike that comes equipped with it, yes, in a certain way. I know, you can always change them.
I rode hookless rims for 5 years and my experience has been nothing but positive. Current bike came with hooked wheels. My 28mm tires inflate at 29mm instead of 30mm because of the hook, but I couldn't care less.
