* `this` has a negative connotation usually associated with it (+intimidation factor for aspiring developers), `globalThis` will likely be prone to the same associations, not by value but by name
I don't know why everyone isn't pushing to call it 'window' everywhere. It makes no sense to call the most important global variable (or in fact the *only* global variable) different names depending on the context. It's like if root directory was '/' in scripts but not in kernel.
* I already deal with `global` shimmed by webpack, which aliases`window`, and vice versa in node. `globalThis` adds another alias I need to remember.
* Namespace pollution (via global and/or window) will always be a problem in the case of human error and variable shadowing. Adding `globalThis` without deprecating the existing (widely used) `window` and `global` polluters won't really add a measurable benefit.
