"lateinit" or "by lazy" when defining global android.widget var/val

When defining a global android.widget variable, e.g. TextView, is it preferable to use lateinit or by lazy? I initially thought using by lazy would be preferred as its immutable but I'm not entirely sure.

by lazy example:

class MainActivity: AppCompatActivity() {

    val helloWorldTextView by lazy { findViewById(R.id.helloWorldTextView) as TextView }

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        updateTextView(helloWorldTextView)
    }

    fun updateTextView(tv: TextView?) {
        tv?.setText("Hello?")
    }
}

lateinit example:

class MainActivity: AppCompatActivity() {

    lateinit var helloWorldTextView: TextView

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        helloWorldTextView = findViewById(R.id.helloWorldTextView) as TextView
        updateTextView(helloWorldTextView)
    }

    fun updateTextView(tv: TextView?) {
        tv?.setText("Hello?")
    }
}

Are there any benefits of using one over the other when defining a global android.widget var/val? Are there any pitfalls with using by lazy to define a android.widget val? Is the decision just based on whether you want a mutable or immutable value?
