Why is something like this:

val ctx = currentCoroutineContext()
val test = object : CoroutineScope {
    override val coroutineContext = ctx
}
task = test.launch(context) { block() }

Not the same as:

coroutineScope { 
 task = launch(context)
}

I know the first one is bad practice so are they both pretty bad?

[ephemient]

they aren't the same thing at all

[ephemient]

coroutineScope {
    task = launch { block() }
}

block() is guaranteed to have completed when coroutineScope {} returns

Ah I see, startUndispatchedOrReturn waits for children.

Also, coroutineScope creates a child job
