Destroying the prefab instance after a delay

Is there a good reason not to use this instead?

    Destroy(instance.gameObject, destroyDelay);  // iff destroyDelay >= 0

Seems to work, although maybe the MonoBehaviour Coroutine infrastructure is useful later on in the course?

EDIT: Ok, I see what the point of it is now - we want to call finished after the prefab instance is destroyed, so the ability to use our own Coroutines in the SO is useful.

This calling a Coroutine with an existing Monobehavior is a vital part of our ability paradigm. They simply cannot be run normally on a ScriptableObject. We probably can use Destroy in some cases, but yes, we would be unable to call back from the destroyed object in this case.
