Historically, the OR `||` operator was there first. It's been there since the beginning of JavaScript, so developers were using it for such purposes for a long time.

On the other hand, the nullish coalescing operator `??` was added to JavaScript only recently, and the reason for that was that people weren't quite happy with `||`.

The important difference between them is that:

- `||` returns the first *truthy* value.

In other words, `||` doesn't distinguish between `false`, `0`, an empty string `""` and `null/undefined`. They are all the same -- falsy values. If any of these is the first argument of `||`, then we'll get the second argument as the result.

In practice though, we may want to use default value only when the variable is `null/undefined`. That is, when the value is really unknown/not set.
