What is the advantage of using useDebounce insted of using just debounce function

Question

I have noticed people using this kind of useDebounced hook:

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

export default function useDebounce(value: any, delay: number) {

    const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState(value);

    useEffect(
        () => {
            const handler = setTimeout(() => {
                setDebouncedValue(value);
            }, delay);

            return () => {
                clearTimeout(handler);
            };
        }
    );

    return debouncedValue;
}

What is the advantage of using the hook, and not just simple javascript debounce, like in lodash library??
