Can context selectors be built with useMemo alone?

No. useMemo does not change the fact that consuming the context subscribes to its whole value. Fine-grained subscriptions require an appropriate selector-aware mechanism.

Key takeaway

Explain the underlying mental model clearly, then support it with a concrete example and its trade-offs.
