at https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-urlencoded-serializer

step 3-2 says

"Replace outputPair’s name and value with the result of running encode on them using encoding override, respectively."

outpuPair's name and value is USVString,
but encoded result is byte stream.

so "replace" doesn't fit, and it seems  better to let new variable for here.

thanks

That depends on the language, no? For English it seems fine for variables to not require static typing :-)
