It's the same reason why you should not name a variable "document" or
"window". "this" *is* already something and therefore you should use
this name for a variable.

See
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/this>.

And if you don't understand that article don't use "this" as variable
name without understanding why - just don't do it.
