Why not to define all functions within a class as a class method, as well as create state in constructor?

Would it be alright to place all functions within a class as a class method? Also why not to use constructor to create local state:

class Test extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.testHandler = this.testHandler.bind(this);
        this.state = {
            friends: 999,
            likes: 0
        }
    }
}
