I realllllly don't know why people are making it so complicated.

The wish peoples' paths diverged when Regina did not cast the curse. They've stated this and showed it, especially in regards to Wish Hook. Regina casting or not casting the curse has no effect whatsoever on who Hook was born to HUNDREDS of years prior. His conception was not the point of divergence they set up for the wish world.

Believing that his parents are still Brennan and Alice is not false reasoning or a hasty assumption - that's literally how they set it up. Yes, there are inconsistencies with anything wish-related, but I don't see any that would be related to Hook's parents. You guys would basically be saying that because Regina didn't cast the curse, suddenly Hook's biological makeup changed right then and there and he got a new mother. That doesn't make any sense.
