so like the engine was designed to not having runtime be a global, and a lot of users are saying, make a global variable with RUNTIME in it,

what is the purpose of this and the pros and cons ?

The pros and cons of global vs local applies here.

Pros
1. Easy access, especially for libraries.
Cons
1. You can easily clutter the global scope.
2. You can easily make bad practices, in which lead to inefficient code.
3. Quite messy in the long run.

Globals are a lot easier to keep track of since they are right there in the event editor. Then the ability to transition local to global is always nice to have.

I do wish they could be automatically obfuscated however.
