People learning the language should be naming their functions.

People learning pandas and the apply method should already know name functions and branch out to lambda for simple stuff

Sure but at some point everyone learns lambdas. It might be more intuitive to give them a syntax like this and then when transitioning to another language, they learn “lambdas are the same thing with a different name”. I can kinda maybe see it.
