Value doesn't change after update

I have the following code:

type myTuple = [string, (value:string) => void]

function setState(v: string) : myTuple {
    let myState:string = v;
    return [
        myState,
        (a) => myState = a
    ]
}

const [val,setVal] = setState('value1');
console.log(val);
setVal('Change');
console.log(val);

I'm expecting val to be changed to "Change", but instead it remains "value1" after the second console.log.

However, I did find a way to make it work:

type myTuple = [() => string, (value:string) => void ]

function setState(v: string) : myTuple {
    let myState:string = v;
    return [
        () => myState,
        (a) => myState = a
    ]
}

const [val,setVal] = setState('value1');
console.log(val());
setVal('AAP');
console.log(val());

Why is this working?
