Is there a difference between it and this in kotlin? If so, why do different scoping functions use one but not the other?

`this` is always current scope
`it` is just a default name of parameter in lambda with only one param. So you can omit name for such case and use `it` instead, but if you set name for lambda parameter explicitly, you don’t have access to `it` anymore.
See documentation about lambdas and `it`
<https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/lambdas.html#it-implicit-name-of-a-single-parameter>

So answering on your question.
Some scope functions use receiver as scope, some just pass it as lambda parameter
