Here is reason to the mass removal of Hornet's connection to void:

Hornet is not made of Void. (speculation warning)

"Though our strength is born of similar source, that part of you, that crucial emptiness, I do not share."

The "Similar Source" Hornet refers to is the power of the Pale King, as Hornet was the result of a "Dalliance" that the Pale King had with Herrah, somewhat meaning that she was born of God and Beast. The Vessels are born of God and Void (...Soul of Wyrm. Soul of Root. Heart of Void...).This "God" is refering to the Pale King.

The Crucial Emptiness means the Void. Void originates from the Abyss, so it would make sense that vessels and constructs must be birthed in the Abyss before being molded and given a shell. Hornet clealy states that she was not born in the Abyss. Also, Hornet was definitely not meant to be a vessel, as she has the ability to think and speak, which the vessels cannot have, according to this quote: "No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void." Proof that Zote is not a vessel is also stated above. But the point is that Hornet is not a vessel, which eliminates a fair chunk of theories. She is also definitely not a construct, as construcs have an artificial shell whilst Hornet's is biological, like the shell of a vessel. But Hornet is neither. Also there is a secret room in the Weaver's Den with a Seal of Binding presumably made of silk drawn on the wall. This room is called Hornet_room, implying that that was where Hornet was born and where she grew up, further nullifying the chances of her originating from the Abyss. And again, the gender system. From thousands of examples given ingame we can see that Void clearly has no gender. Yet Hornet does. She is referred to as the "Gendered Child". For most, this would confirm that Hornet is made of Void. Too bad, it doesn't actually. It more accurately confirms that Hornet is the only child of the Pale King with a gender, as every other child of his is a vessel.

​​​​​​​Now I have no good conclusion here, and I'm not trying to change anyone's mind *ahem*, but I've written my thoughts on the Void/Hornet matter. No doubt it's extremely off-topic, and no doubt many will regard it as long-winded bull, but that's fine. After all Hollow Knight is nothing but a game. I could be wrong. I could be right. But I'm just stating what I believe.

​​​​​​​Hope that clears things up. The minor discord servers have been abuzz with this issue.
