Why do the new Tutor Moves from the Let's go starters have childish names?

Since Let’s Go is more of a casual-friendly name I suppose it makes sense for the names to… not make sense. There have been names like this in the mainseries too. Besides, the partner moves are hilariously broken in battle. Instant seeds and guaranteed burns? Access to the only move in the game that heals status from all teammates? A priority move that also guaranteed crits? Why wouldn’t you use them?
Besides, there are plenty of worse moves. Who remembers the last time someone unironically used Magnetic Flux or Razor Wind?
