This error is much better hidden than in the equivalent:

I did mention named parameters, you are using positional parameters to make your point. You don't even list the variables in your example. That seems pretty implicit to me.
I think this is more explicit:
"My name is {name}, I'm {feet} tall and live in {location}.".format(name="Bob", location="USA", feet=7)

Your example is not representative because you're using literals.
Your actual example would be:
"My name is {name}, I'm {feet} tall and live in {location}.".format(name=name, location=location, feet=feet)
And with f-strings: f"My name is {name}, I'm {feet} tall and live in {location}."
f-strings is clearly more readable, concise and actually faster to run.The literals were just an example. And personally I find it more explicit, which is my original point.
If its faster to run, then fair enough.
Using your example, I think
"My name is {name}, I'm {feet} tall and live in {location}.".format(name="Bob", location="USA", feet=7)
is less explicit than
"My name is Bob, I'm 7 feet tall and live in USA."
and that last one is faster to run ;-)
