>The rationale in PEP 498 advocates the benefits even with just simple names. You don't have to be embedding complex expressions in order to benefit from f-strings. (Also, assignment targets don't have to be simple names; targets like "x[1]" or "x.y" would be perfectly valid. Although I doubt anyone would want to assign to "a,b,c" inside an expression like this.)
