Why not just use "Value" in the for in loop?

Hi, Was just wondering, if we are trying to access the value of a key within an object, why not just name it "Value" like this:

//to access key in Person object
for (let key in person) {
    console.log(key)
}

//to access value in Person object
for (let value in person) {
    console.log(person[value])
}

Instead of naming it prop, seems a bit more confusing since it reads as if we are trying to access the key/property rather than the value.

Im asking this cus I want your opinion, don't you think it reads better too? or is it just me?

Thank you!
