I would be happy with a brief persistence of street names at a larger scale when zooming in. IOW, when zooming, street names to persist at the larger, zoomed in size for 400..800 ms or so, then shrinking to the typical size. Don’t know if that is possible with whatever map layers are now in use.

No thanks. Make the names visible at all times. Apple Maps is infuriating to use while driving because there is no clear indication of scale and it constantly zooms in and out. Do I need to turn now or in a few seconds or a minute? Impossible to tell at a glance. Changing scale should be done rarely. I don’t look at my cell phone every 800ms while driving.
