Is it good practice to allow users to navigate simply by hovering on a menu item without clicking?

A pattern I have noticed recently on some (desktop) websites is that users can navigate simply by hovering on menu items.

While this is more efficient (fewer clicks) it feels unexpected and therefore unintuitive to me. I am wondering if it feels "wrong" only because it is a newer pattern, made possible by single-page applications etc.?

In short, is there any fundamental design principle being violated here?

Edit/Update: The example, which some have asked about, was taken from https://antv.vision/en
