I am confused by the fact that all the previous solutions in the
thread used the latter; I feel like I must be missing something,
perhaps performance-related, and I seek enlightenment.



That's one of the things that separate programmers from scripters.

Programmers, have always been taught that globals are bad, and for some contexts, for good reasons. (Memory allocation and management, for example)

Scripters see globals as just another tool and if using a global works and even makes a script easier to understand, we use them.

I prefer properties to globals, simpler in some ways to use.

I believe very few of the reasons programmers are taught bad apply to most scripting.
