Why couldn't one just pass in `this` to useState, a key, or something similar?

Like, if I have two state variables, pass in a name for both, instead of relying on the order being the same.

It's meant for functional components, not classes.

This doesn't answer the question.

"This" existed in javascript long before classes. No idea why my relevant question is down voted.

Not in arrow functions, which are very common and any solution should certainly contemplate them.

"this" isn't bound in functional components because there's nothing to bind it to.

And what would `this` be in that function?
