Like, Hook tells his original that his daughter was trapped in a tower by a witch, which would obviously make that daughter Rapunzel, but people start to think instead "Hey, what if Tremaine is Punzie? She has blond streaks". In French you'd talk about a "hair-pulled" (far-fetched) theory.

It is so much more simple to have: Rapunzel as Rapunzel The Witch as the Witch Lady Trémaine as Lady Trémaine (with one of the first two being Hook's daughter, even more so likely Rapunzel then)

Hook didn't say he raised or even saw his daughter before she got trapped in her tower, so he might not even know who she is to him before he meets her properly as a young girl. It was never explicitly stated onscreen that his daughter was trapped inside of a tower. All he said was that she was in a prison of a kind, placed there by a vengeful Witch. Actually, Hook never used Witch but Sorceress ^^
