It may allow beginners to taste the sweetness of not following the rules

Summary

https://react.dev/learn/queueing-a-series-of-state-updates

The first challenge in this chapter can still work normally even if it is written like this, because it relies on click behavior

async function handleClick() {
    setPending(pending + 1);
    await delay(3000);
    setPending(pending=>pending - 1);
    setCompleted(completed=>completed + 1);
  }

However, if it is changed to this, it will not work. At this point, we must change setPending(pending + 1) to setPending(pending => pending + 1)

async function handleClick() {
    setTimeout(()=> {setPending(pending + 1);}, 1000)
    await delay(3000);
    setPending(pending=>pending - 1);
    setCompleted(completed=>completed + 1);
  }

Perhaps some annotations could be added

Start with the linked queueing-a-series-of-state-updates page and review the first challenge and its state-update examples. Reproduce the delayed setTimeout variant described in the issue, then determine where an annotation should explain the functional updater form. Done means the page clearly warns about this case and the challenge remains understandable.
