Aristotle's separate intellects still require structure and differentiation (multiple intellects with distinct natures), which hylomorphic principles better explain than positing pure immateriality.

Aristotle: Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived over 2,000 years ago and is one of the most influential thinkers in Western history. He studied nearly every subject—from animals and plants to politics and ethics—and developed practical ways of thinking that shaped how people understand the world. His ideas on logic, nature, and how to live a good life are still taught and debated today because he focused on observing the real world rather than just abstract theories.
Hylomorphic principles(The statement says hylomorphic principles better explain Aristotle's separate intellects): A philosophical idea (from Greek words meaning 'matter' and 'form') that things are made up of both physical material AND a non-physical structure or pattern that organizes that material—like how clay (matter) gets shaped into a pot's form.
Immateriality(as a property attributed to the intellect): The quality of not being made of physical matter or material substance; existing as non-physical.
